Product description help please

Please be gentle - I am a total idiot when it comes to anything to do with my cart (I have 2 nice techy men in the family who usually fix things but are sadly too busy this week..)

I have my pages set up to display product information - title and price at the moment. I only discovered today that you can do this :blush: - and it is a great feature. However, as it currently stands the product title is under the price and more info bit and therefore looks like it belongs to the product below. I'd like to change it so it has the title under the image (where it currently has the price), the the price under that and then nothing else - so remove the more info bit. I cannot for the life of me see how to do this in the admin panel - help!

Here's what the page currently looks like:

Thanks in advance!

Re: Product description help please

You have your product listing page set up in columns instead of rows (Column Grid Layout mod?), so I don't know for sure if this applies to you.

In Configuration > Product Listing, you can set which elements of information are displayed (probably what you found out today), but you can also set the order in which they are displayed. 0 = no display, 1 = first, 2 = second, etc. So try setting image = 1, title = 2 and price = 3. This works for row display.

To get rid of the "... more info", look in /includes/languages/english.php around line 364 and change ```php
define('MORE_INFO_TEXT','... more info');

to 
```php
define('MORE_INFO_TEXT',''); 
```Be sure to leave the two single quotes, and save the edited file ias /includes/languages/your_template/english.php.

Lastly, you didn't ask about this, but you need to optimize your images! One of your thumbnails is 132k, yet the "larger image" actually displays smaller than the thumbnail. Images of this size should be only 10-20k.

Thanks!

I'm doing the images right now - it's slow but steady progress. My web monkey wasn't kidding when he said he 'didn't do image type stuff'
