Adding product types & more

In my ZC-webshop I would like to add some types (like price, description, manufacturer) to my articles.

I would like each article to look like this:

So, I need some changes:

  1. I want the types material and color added to an article. Name & manufacturer are no problem, because you can already add them when you add an article. How do I do this?

  2. I want these types on the right of the article-image. For example, if you add manufacturer now, I will come up above the image. Where can I change this?

  3. Right now you can pick between a direct link to add the article in the basket, or you can choose to have a 'read more' using Admin - Product Listing - Display Product Add To Cart Button. I want both. Where can I edit this?

I really hope someone can help me along with this.

Re: Adding product types & more

In the "Downloads" section (see link at top of page), you'll find a section on product types. The "book" contribution may be an example you can follow for how to add the needed components to your admin-entry, store-display, and database.

Also, in the /docs/ folder of your Zen Cart files, there is an article on product types, albeit rudimentary.

Re: Adding product types & more

You can just enter this info in the product description area.
Color selection can be added as description text but should also be as an attribute selection. Add a set of attributes.
I want these types on the right of the article-image. For example, if you add manufacturer now, I will come up above the image. Where can I change this?
The admin allows some layout changes. you did not specify the listing type that you are wanting to change...essentially there are 2 the product listing and the product info. Product info in changeable in tpl_product_info_display.php if the admin does not provide what you want.
