    Default Adding a new description box

    I'm looking to add a technical specs session for computer products. How can I add, inside the product database, a row dedicated for product technical specs?

    And, how to link this information back to the front end of the cart?

    Thanks

    Have a look at this:
    http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1129.

    It will add several extra fields in your database.

    The previous link is to add extra files.
    If you want to add your additional information as text (similar to the description) I use this http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=271

    If I already have tab pro, do you have a suggestion on how to make sure both don't overlap each other?

    @CoolCarPartsOnline

    You're right, I had the wrong contribution. This was the one I was thinking of: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1331

    It gives a huge extra text field.

    This provides for 1 extra text field, 4 file upload for pdfs, and a flash upload and display for each product. It is based on the Extra Description Files mod by Mariusz Józala but has enough changed code and added elements to warrant a new contribution.

    As to the OP query about tabs, you'll have to style your product page around your tabs.

    My website in footer is using the short description. You can style anything in CSS.
