Changing product description layout...

[Spo0f]

Hi, i am looking to change the product description page of my site, it currently looks like this...http://www.orcharddirect.co.uk/store...&products_id=7

The pages are to long and want to change to something more user-friendly and would like to change it to something very similar to http://www.organicswithlove.com/inde...roducts_id=449

Does any one have any suggestions or code that i can use to change this display, many thanks.

First off, the product_info display page is very customizable, and you could probably something close to that effect, but it will take much effort. Probably the effort is worth it though.

That particular page that you showed has those two graphics that will make it somewhat long anyhow.

If you want your Previous-Next to go down to the bottom like theirs is, you can set that via the admin panel. Admin->Configuration->Product Info->Previous Next - Navigation Bar Position.

If you want more room at the top, you could get rid of the top part there via the admin. Set Categories Icon to not display, and set NavBar not to display. The NavBar is handy and doesn't take up much room.


Or in the stylesheet you could set the display to none for these selectors.

You can get rid of the "this product was added to our catalog" at the bottom by a setting in the admin.

To give the Image and text description the look that Organics has got, you could put them in <div> wrappers and set the styles to something you like, or copy exactly what they have. To do this you would open the includes/templates/template_default/templates/product_info_display.php and set the wrappers up around these two, float one left and the other to the right and set the width of the floats.

You can also set the attributes up nearer to the text description, and setup the add to cart right below that if you want.

I can be a little more specific for you if you would like, just tell me what you plan is.
