Hi Denis, using a tab script is not a good solution for us as it is quite difficult to construct based on our middle knowledge in coding, that's why we always we purchase commercial extensions (where applicable) to get good assistance and support from developers and also not to loose unnecessary time. We cannot spend hours/days to apply complicated solutions when there are simple solutions, we cannot use such complicated solutions that will take us 10 times more resources simply because there is a bug in JB Zoo and the following explanation will demonstrate you that we are right and you need to solve this out because we cannot afford to loose much more time with this.
Just to give you a proof that there is a problem with JB Zoo and ItemPanes, we have created a fresh Joomla installation and we have added only ZOO as extension, we have create a small multilingual website including ZOO, Zoolingual, ItemPanes and JB Zoo, as I mention you previously, there is not additional extensions that can caused any javascript conflict on this fresh Joomla website and it should work perfectly, but it is not!
Step 1 (See screenshot installed_extensions.png)
We have created a fresh Joomla installation including only ZOO, Zoolingual, ItemPanes and JB Zoo as mention above, you will see in the screenshot that there is only ZOO as installed extensions, apart from default Joomla 3.0 extensions.
Step 2 (See screenshot installed_elements.png)
As you will see in this screenshot, we have installed only the main concern element as a third party element, that is, the ItemPanes element and we have also created a new type called 'Articles' and we have assigned the 'ItemPanes' element to this type.
Step 3 (See screenshot assigned_element_full_view.png)
We have created an element called 'Tabs' with the ItemPanes element and we have assigned it to the full view position in the Articles type, note that, based on ItemPanes functionality, event before assigning this type to the full view, we should have already seen new generated position created by the ItemPanes element in the full view, so that we can place elements in the created position, but, such additional position does not exists.
Step 4 (See screenshot panned_position_itempanes.png)
As you'll see in this screenshot, we have assigned the same element 'Tabs' to one of 'JB Zoo' demo type (In Russian), and the 'Panned Positions' generated with ItemPanes are there so that we can place elements in these positions.
Conclusion
1. There cannot be any javascript conflict on a website with a single extension, in our case, only with ZOO, there are thousands and even millions of website running with ZOO in Joomla 3.0 and till now, no conflict has been reported, even with some additional third party element such as ItemPanes, there cannot be any javascript conflict, there, please remove the javascript conflict as a cause for JB Zoo not working properly with ItemPanes and vice-versa.
2. If there was any javascript conflict, as you mention, which is not the case, the ItemPanes won't work with any type created within JB Zoo, how can you explain that the ItemPanes work in a specific type and does not work in another type?
3. We have spent time uninstalling and re-installing third party components, modules and plugins with our existing website to find out a possible conflict, but even after removing all third party components, modules and plugins, JB Zoo was still not working properly with ItemPanes.
4. We have spent time installing a fresh Joomla 3.0 website so that we could see where was our mistake and what was causing the possible conflict, still, no sign of any conflict!
5. We are again spending time to write a clear and detailed comment so that you can understand clearly where is the problem and understand the fact that this error is not a javascript conflict but simply an error within JB Zoo.
6. We were suppose to launch our website by Monday 15.07.2013 but due to this major error with JB Zoo, we were forced to postpone the launching for one additional week, which again make us loose time, money and resources.
We are not blaming JB Zoo as we definitely understand that there can be error in extension as no extension is perfect for all environments, but at least provide us the necessary support to find out the real problem and please correct it so that we can finally finish our website and also start generating some income from our own business so that we can be proud to renew our subscription to JB Zoo when the renewal time will come.
