Various questions

I'm working on a site for a customer.

http://newsite.epinklingerie.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_6

Here is what she wants, and I'm having a hard time figuring it out (newbie):

  1. On Item 1420, how do I get the top description to be longer instead of cutting it off.
  2. On the page, some of the images are out of proportion. Is there a way to fix that or do I need to re-size her images (I didn't put them in initially).
  3. Underneath the picture, there's a certain amount of info.
  4. If you click on the picture, it shows information on the right. How do I rearrange that information.

I don't need a long explanation. I'm having difficulty figuring out where to go. Thanks in anticipation. This has been bugging me for weeks.

Re: Various questions

1 . You can't change the length of just that one product description, but if you want all of them to be longer, check the value of Admin - Product Listing - Display Product Description.

  1. I don't know what you mean by 'out of proportion' but the fact that some seem squished may be a result of your using Zencart to scale them to the desired size rather than creating the images in the proper proportion in the first place. Forcing a 450X1033 image to 177X238 will give you some distortion.

Also, the images are way too big (file size, not dimensions) by a factor of 100X, which slows the page load down. Take a look at the Image Handler 2 mod in Free Software Add ons.

  1. You'll need to be more specific about what you want to do, but that's the 'product info' page and it can be re-arranged by editing tpl_product_info_display.php and by editing the stylesheet. Also, search the Free Software Add Ons for 'product info'.

That's a Template Monster template, so you may be limited by their sloppy code in making changes.

Re: Various questions

For such a simple template 0 using a template monster template is like shooting yourself in the foot
Search this forum for them and all the issues their templates cause
The following are normal solutions that might not work with that template

  1. On Item 1420, how do I get the top description to be longer instead of cutting it off.
    admin > config > Product Listing > Display Product Description > set value
  2. On the page, some of the images are out of proportion. Is there a way to fix that or do I need to re-size her images
    Images will normally have to be sized for what is defined at
    admin > config > images >
  3. If you click on the picture, it shows information on the right. How do I rearrange that information.
    A copy of tpl_product_info_display.php can be rearranged and/or css can have styling affects also
