I bet 90% of x-cart owners sooner or later decide to place full product description under product picture(s)/product options area and make it use full page width instead of shy little corner on the right.

I searched forum for an easy solution, but was only able to find the tutorial for 4.2. After looking into code i realized that 4.2 solution is NOT going to work for 4.3 ....

An hour later I came up with this solution which I am more then happy to share with all of you guys :

1) Go to /customer/main/product_details.tpl and edit out next piece of code with {* *} :

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" summary="{$lng.lbl_description|escape}">
    <tr>
      <td class="descr">{$product.fulldescr|default:$product.descr}</td>
      {if $active_modules.Special_Offers}
        {include file="modules/Special_Offers/customer/product_bp_icon.tpl"}
      {/if}
      {if $product.appearance.has_market_price && $product.appearance.market_price_discount gt 0}
        <td align="right" valign="top">
          <div class="save-percent-container">
            <div class="save" id="save_percent_box">
              <span id="save_percent">{$product.appearance.market_price_discount}</span>%
            </div>
          </div>
        </td>
      {/if}
    </tr>
  </table>

2) in the same template, right after the first piece of code you just edited out, find:

<table cellspacing="0" class="product-properties" summary="{$lng.lbl_description|escape}">
    <tr>
      <td class="property-name">{$lng.lbl_sku}</td>
      <td class="property-value" id="product_code" colspan="2">{$product.productcode|escape}</td>
    </tr>
    {if $config.Appearance.show_in_stock eq "Y" && $config.General.unlimited_products ne "Y" && $product.distribution eq ""}
      <tr>
        <td class="property-name">{$lng.lbl_in_stock}</td>
        <td class="property-value product-quantity-text" colspan="2">
          {if $product.avail gt 0}
            {$lng.txt_items_available|substitute:"items":$product.avail}
          {else}
            {$lng.lbl_no_items_available}
          {/if}
        </td>
      </tr>
    {/if}
    {if $product.weight ne "0.00" || $variants ne ''}
      <tr id="product_weight_box"{if $product.weight eq '0.00'} style="display: none;"{/if}>
        <td class="property-name">{$lng.lbl_weight}</td>
        <td class="property-value" colspan="2">
          <span id="product_weight">{$product.weight|formatprice}</span> {$config.General.weight_symbol}
        </td>
      </tr>

and replace it with :

<table cellspacing="0" class="product-properties" summary="{$lng.lbl_description|escape}">
  <tr>
      <td class="property-name">{$lng.lbl_sku}</td>
      <td class="property-value" id="product_code">{$product.productcode|escape}</td><td rowspan="3" align="right" valign="top">{if $product.appearance.has_market_price && $product.appearance.market_price_discount gt 0} <div class="save-percent-container">
            <div class="save" id="save_percent_box">
              <span id="save_percent">{$product.appearance.market_price_discount}</span>%
            </div>
          </div>{/if}</td>
    </tr>
    {if $config.Appearance.show_in_stock eq "Y" && $config.General.unlimited_products ne "Y" && $product.distribution eq ""}
      <tr>
        <td class="property-name">{$lng.lbl_in_stock}</td>
        <td class="property-value product-quantity-text">
          {if $product.avail gt 0}
            {$lng.txt_items_available|substitute:"items":$product.avail}
          {else}
            {$lng.lbl_no_items_available}
          {/if}        </td>
      </tr>
    {/if}
    {if $product.weight ne "0.00" || $variants ne ''}
      <tr id="product_weight_box"{if $product.weight eq '0.00'} style="display: none;"{/if}>
        <td class="property-name">{$lng.lbl_weight}</td>
        <td class="property-value">
          <span id="product_weight">{$product.weight|formatprice}</span> {$config.General.weight_symbol}        </td>
      </tr>

3) Go to /customer/main/product.tpl and find :

<div class="details"{if $max_image_width gt 0} style="margin-left: {$max_image_width}px;"{/if}>
      {include file="customer/main/product_details.tpl"}
      {if $active_modules.Feature_Comparison ne ""}
        {include file="modules/Feature_Comparison/product_buttons.tpl"}
      {/if}
    </div>
    <div class="clearing"></div>

right after it add :

<p class="descr">{$product.fulldescr|default:$product.descr}</p>
      {if $active_modules.Special_Offers}
        {include file="modules/Special_Offers/customer/product_bp_icon.tpl"}
      {/if}

This should do it

P.S: In order to modify/adjust the product options layout after modification (if neccessary), go to /main.css and find :

table.product-properties .property-name {
width: 30px;
white-space: nowrap;
}
table.product-properties .property-value {
white-space: normal;
}

Play around with this CSS to get the desired look
