Greetings!
Thanks in advance for your time, I have found nearly all the answers to my questions in this forum, it is an awesome resource for X-Cart users!

I've been looking for a post that could explain how to place the product description under the picture (product details page) instead of aligned to the side of the photo, could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks so much!!

The easy bit is that you need to edit skin1/customer/product.tpl

The next bit though depends on your html / table editing skills.

You basically need to rebuild the table so that the rows and columns are in the right order. If you can do that you will solve it; but it isn't a straightforward tick a box and it's done.

Give me a shout back if you need some more help.

Hi,

OK, what sort of help exactly do you need? Have you tried editing the template or is that where you need help?

Thanks for your help, here is what I tried:

customer/product.php


<TABLE border="0" width="100%">
<FORM name="orderform" method="post" action="cart.php?mode=add" onsubmit="javascript: return FormValidation();">
<TR>
<TD valign="top" align="left" rowspan="2" width="100">
{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$product.productid image_x=$product.image_x image_y=$product.image_y product=$product.product tmbn_url=$product.tmbn_url id="product_thumbnail"}
</TD>
<TD valign="top">
<SPAN class=>
{if $product.fulldescr ne ""}{$product.fulldescr}{else}{$product.descr}{ /if}
</SPAN>


I copied the code in bold to the table above it, it worked somewhat. The text was under the picture but in a column instead of the length of the picture. I wish I had more time to look at it but I won't for a couple more days. I'll post what I try next on Friday.
Thansk again,

Its just basic HTML. The cell above the code you posted is two column

<TD valign="top" align="left" rowspan="2" width="100">

and the cell that is part of the code that you posted is only one column

<TD valign="top"> 

You need to make the cell in the code you moved to two column

Hi there,

I am very new to this, I also am trying to have the product picture at the top and the description below the picture could someone please explain to me what i have to do to make this happen?

Here are my changes to this section:


<TR>
<TD valign="top" align="left" rowspan="2" width="390">
{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$product.productid image_x=$product.image_x image_y=$product.image_y product=$product.product tmbn_url=$product.tmbn_url id="product_thumbnail"}



<SPAN class=>
{if $product.fulldescr ne ""}{$product.fulldescr}{else}{$product.descr}{ /if}
</SPAN>




The text is under the picture but the price and options are spaced a little too far for me, I can live with that for now...
Thanks!!
