    Default Re: Additional Description Fields in the Admin > New Product

    You can create one demo product with all fields you need - just duplicate it always when you want to add a new product.

    I think we're having a small misunderstanding. I'm only talking about one field.. the main description box. There should be a way to add the some content to that box through the backend so that the content is always there.

    I wish I could think of an example... but it's sort of like those blog sites that have a box for your email and inside the box it says "enter your email here" then when you click on the box, that text disappears so you can enter your email. It's a similar idea, but I just wouldn't want the test to disappear, I would want to build upon it with the product details. I'm attaching a picture for another visual.

    Create one product with this description - when you want to insert a new product from the admin area -> categories/products duplicate this product. You will see the new product in the specific category/subcategory - just open it and add the product's title, price, etc.

    That is a great work-around, thank you. I will try it.

    But, I know there should be a way to do this in the code. Anyone know?

    Can you help me figure out how to apply CSS to the content in that box? I use a certain font, size, and color for the description and each time I create a product I have to select all the content and apply all of those characteristics.

    I want to simply type the stuff and let the CSS style it for me. Any ideas?

    Using Adobe Dreamweaver you can create one page with css entries - you need to copy the code and insert it in the description field (it should be in HTML mode). Or better download and intsall this add-on - http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=269

    No, what I'm asking is using the stylesheet to style the products description content.

    When I modify the stylesheet #productDescription_1 it does not apply the styles I need to the text.

    I want to be able to apply the following to the content I type in the product descriptions box without using an editor...

    font-size: 10px;
    color: #666666
    font-weight: bold
    font-family: georgia
    line-height: 1.5em

    I want the CSS to do it - the way it should be.
