Product Image Position

My apologies again. I just learned that the products were uploaded originally with a script by another developer who just loaded a table format provided by the vendor. Gee, wish I had known that for both our sakes. However, I have learned much with your help. Thanks. I'll get back to him with the issue.

Re: Product Image Position

I had no idea you had that many products. It's definitely not practical to edit those manually unless you have no other option. You could keep the description code as is if you are satisfied with the way it displays (color, spacing, etc.). If you ever want to modify it, you would be screwed, except for the possibility of using "!important" in stylesheet declarations to override embedded styling. Not clean coding, but better than nothing.

The ideal situation would be to have an automated script to re-enter the descriptions with bare-bones tables like my example. Then you have less bulk in the database and it will be easier to style. (One big advantage to CSS over embedded HTML styling is that you can change the appearance of a hundred pages with one line of code edits.)

Re: Product Image Position

Yes, we are going back to reload after mods using his script. Man! Wish I had know that to start with!

Can you tell me how/if I can turn on/off the Quantity in stock text and also the
"This product was added to our database on (date)" in the Admin?

Thanks. I've looked, tried stuff and no success without editing the php.

Re: Product Image Position

I wonder if it might make things easier on you as far as product editing goes if you installed Easy Populate and then downloaded a .cvs file of your products into a spreadsheet. You could then remove the parts of code from the description in a quicker fashion, couldn't you? Then once it's edited out, you could upload the spreadsheet via the admin again, edit the stylesheet with the code gjh42 has suggested, and voila! all fixed.

Re: Product Image Position

Well, I appreciate the suggestion, but just wondering if Easy Populate is really "easy". I've read some posts that would suggest maybe not? I'm operating from a Mac platform and not planning to change, if that makes a difference, since I am not familiar with EP.
