Building Product Tabs That Editors Can Extend from the Manager
How to implement a tabbed product layout where editors can add or change tab content from the manager instead of hard-coding every tab in the template.
Tabbed product layouts often start as a template trick and become hard to maintain once editors need to add more blocks. The scalable approach is to treat each tab as managed data rather than fixed markup.
Typical Structure
- store tab items in multiTV or another repeatable field structure
- keep one row template for the tab navigation
- keep another row template for the tab content panels
That way the frontend stays consistent while editors can add, remove, or reorder tabs without asking for template changes every time a new product detail appears.
