multiple items on same product page?

I am trying to sell fishing rods and I want to have one product page and description with a table of the different rods below

here is an example:
http://shop.mudhole.com/Shop-Our-Catalog/St-Croix/SCIII-Graphite-Spin-Cast

any help would be great appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Huh? Why not make it a category with different products?

all the items are basically the same with a differnt size and price. I'm new to this but it looks like all the sites have a product page then list the differnet sizes with individual buy buttons. :dontgetit

You can use attribute, but that wont give you a different buy button for each. The best way is to have multiple products (you can just create one then copy).
You can design the category page in a way that looks exactly like what you have there.

ok so I would enter the text in the catagory discription and the picture would be the catagory picture. How do I put the text bar accross with the colum headings? and the lines between items?

Thank You

It's just a matter of designing (pure) html from this point on. If you want you can even take the whole html code from http://shop.mudhole.com/Shop-Our-Catalog/St-Croix/SCIII-Graphite-Spin-Cast and integrate it into ZC. You may want to check the wiki/faq to see how to create a custome template. Or you can seek for commercial help from the commercial help room if you do not want to do it yourself. > bribri:

Well I'm trying to learn how to do this so comercial help would not really help. How would you take the html code from that page?

another question is there a good book that explains html code that would help me do this?

The heading and separators are just a matter of styling what is already standard.

To do exactly as the example shows and have it work dynamically from the product info would require adding some fields to the database and referencing them in the code. You currently have available model, name, manufacturer, quantity, weight and image. You could tweak some of those for your needs, but you would probably need to add fields for say length, line, lure, power, action, ######## and tip.

This is ridiculous - the forum software won't let you post the word "xbutt".

OK, I really appreciate your help, one more question I think, Where do you change the model that you mentioned?

I understand that you want to learn, but from what you are saying, you don't have much experience with html yet, and customizing ZC template requires a good understanding of html, css, and php(yeah, it's a programming language, it's easy but still a programming language)

So just a warning, it will take lots of time, not one day, not even one week. Anyhow, you gotta learn the basic of html first, google for html tutorials and css tutorials, there are many available online.
