add a more info or Link to the Products description Module

I tried the information from Ajeh link of Sept. 2003 but that did not work. Probably because of Zen Cat version.

I really would like to be able to use this idea since I have quite a few items that are very text and specification heavy.

On the Product Description sheet would be a More Info button OR a text link that when clicked would direct the potential buyer to another page which would have the additional information.

Is this feasible and doable or Do I need to install a specific module to do the job.

Re: add a more info or Link to the Products description Module

I have just downloaded the EXTRA DEFINITION Files 1.

I followed instructions to a tee I believe, I even went through the process of uploading twice. The one thing I'm not sure of because the english grammar is not up to snuff . is on line 25 of the read me text his instructions are 1. Go to Administration Page of your Zen Cart than "Tools"->"SQL Patch" and pick uninstall_aetas_extra_description_files.sql to patch database.
2) (this is where I'm confused) Remove this file from Zen Cart Directory: He Then proceeds to enter from #26 to # 63 a list of files in different directories.
Now the problem I have is that my adin/catalog/Categories_Products sheets are all blank. I have NOT deleted the 20+ directories and files he seems to have suggested.

Any ideas.

P.S. I have written him but his email address is in Poland, I'm assuming it will be re-routed to his editor Delia Wilson Lunsford.

Re: add a more info or Link to the Products description Module

WOULD YOU know how I'm suppose to do This:

  1. If you already have products on your website, you must add each of those product numbers to the new database table - product_extra_description_extra - this is a very simple table and only requires the addition of the product ids. Otherwise, your products will not show in admin.Uninstall
    _________Please remember about backup (files and DATABASE).1. Go to Administration page of your Zen Cart than "Tools" -> "SQL Patch" and pick uninstall_aetas_extra_description_files.sql to patch your database.2. Remove this files from your Zen Cart directory:
    ./admin/product_extra_description.php

Re: add a more info or Link to the Products description Module

I've removed the entire module from the data base. My categories description sheets have all returned. I will attempt to re-install without running the Uninstall SQL, which is what I had done initially because the instructions said so. Nowhere in the instructions does it say to run the uninstall SQL only if you want to uninstall module.
I guess I'll have to use better judgment before running any unitall commands.
