    Default Re: PLEASE HELP! - how do add html to product description?

    This is almost like a duplicate post, and I apologize, but I did not find this one until I posted my first one.

    I have:
    Zen Cart 1.3.8a
    Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
    v1.3.8 [2008-04-02 20:17:15] (Fresh Installation)
    v1.3.8 [2008-04-02 20:17:15] (Fresh Installation)

    I cannot find the wsywig or raw html functions you refer to. Am I crazy (probably so).

    Thanks!!

    Can you get to the product creation/editing page?

    If so,the biggest box in that page is for entering the descrpition. If you don't have HTMLArea set to default in Configuration > ?My Store?, you will be entering raw text. Any HTML tags you add to this will be used.

    Can you describe what you are seeing in the edit page and in your store listing & info pages?

    "Can you get to the product creation/editing page?"

    Yes, I have set several products, and am using the text area.

    But, I did miss the HTML setting. Reset it to HTML editor, still don't get the HTML edit area in products.

    Strange... Let's drop this one for now, I have so many other things to get the site running right now, I don't want to bother you guys with a little nagging problem like this.

    Thank any way, I will re-post later if that's alright.

    If you know how to use HTML tags, you can enter them without an HTML editor (and get cleaner code to boot:).

    Have you considered using something like FCK Editor. Might be easier

    I was stuck with this...

    Have you selected the HTMLarea dropdown option on the categories and products admin pages? --- the pages you get to when you do catalog -> categories/products, and then from there when you click on a product category (or product) or use the green edit icon?

    Fixed it for me, as well as setting the configuration -> layout option...

    And sorry about the explanation.

    For those who are reading this thread and wondering where the follow up is. I got it. I had the same problem understanding it...

    If you go to Configuration -> My Store, and change the HTML Editor to HTMLAREA, it will allow you to use HTML in your product descriptions.

    There were no <> or anything different on the actual product edit pages, it just allowed me to write in HTML and have it understood.

    Hope this helps other people. It helped me.
