In this guide i want to show you how to change way of displaying product tabs in prestashop 1.6 default-bootstrap template. As you probably know prestashop 1.6 displays product tabs as a wide horizontal bars, these wide bards in fact aren't a real tabs like they were displayed in prestashop 1.5. In this guide i want to show you how to change them to real tabs with responsiveness.
Tabs modification
In this case we have to modify two things. First the most important change is related to template file which displays product details. It's a product.tpl file located in your theme directory. Second thing - is css style definition for these tabs. Css definition for this section is a part of global.css file located in theme directory, in css subdirectory.
Product.tpl file modification - download modified file for PrestaShop 1.6.x
okay, so as i said above we have to modify product.tpl file, you can find it here: /themes/default-bootstrap/product.tpl. Open it, and search for code that i pasted below:
{if isset($features) && $features}
<!-- Data sheet -->

<table class="table-data-sheet">

{if isset($feature.value)}

And that's all. Save changes and go to the next step related to css modifications.
CSS style modification
Go to theme directory and open /css/ sibdirectory. There is a global.css file. Open it, full path to file is: /themes/default-bootstrap/css/global.css. At the end of the code paste code:
.idTabs {
list-style-type:none;
margin-top:20px;
}
ul.idTabs li {
float:left;
margin-right:-1px;
}
.idTabs a {
color:#555454;
text-transform:uppercase;
font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;
font-weight:600;
font-size:18px;
line-height:60px;
position:relative;
border:1px solid #d6d4d4;
background:#fbfbfb;
margin:0 0 20px;
padding:14px 20px 17px;
}
#more_info_sheets .product_desc .block_description {
float:left;
margin-left:10px;
width:420px;
}
#more_info_sheets .product_desc .clear_product_desc {
clear:both;
height:0;
line-height:0;
}
.idTabs .selected,#header .sf-menu > li.sfHover > a,#header .sf-menu > li > a:hover,#header .sf-menu > li.sfHoverForce > a {
color:#fff;
background: #553D3D;
border-bottom-color: #000000;
text-decoration:none;
}
#more_info_sheets .rte {
padding:10px!important;
}
#more_info_sheets .bx-wrapper {
width:100%!important;
max-width:none!important;
display:block;
}

Remember that you can modify color of selected tab heading. It's easy, just change background param from #553D3D to any other color you want. You have to modify it css code that you pasted to global.css file:
.idTabs .selected,#header .sf-menu > li.sfHover > a,#header .sf-menu > li > a:hover,#header .sf-menu > li.sfHoverForce > a {
color:#fff;
background: #553D3D;
border-bottom-color: #000000;
}
