Original file would not pull price info to boxes with price enabled in admin.

Changed:

<tr><td height=45 valign=middle class="smallText"><b>Price: <br><font color="#FF5C02">'.$product_contents[3].'</font></b></td></tr>

To:

<tr><td height=45 valign=middle class="smallText"><b>Price: <br><font color="#FF5C02">'.$product_contents[1].'</font></b></td></tr>

Price will now display correctly.

Enabling 'Model' display in admin displays a'Buy Now' button instead of the model number - didn't know how to fix this.

Hi,
Now you can also use the style on product_listing page.

replace old file product_listing.php under includes_modules using the attached file.

Or rename attached file into product_listing.php.

There was an error in the code in file "new_products.php".
I made some changes and now it works perfect!

THAT' S ALL!!!!

UPDATED: FULL INSTALL FILES

This modification combines Better Product Display v 0.0.3 and Short Description In Products contributions.

It also adds admin support to enable and disable various bits of product info within the boxes. Also the display has been cleaned up a bit..

Go into new_products.php to edit the settings that cut the title and description lengths if you want, they're hard-coded...

I also cleaned up the queries a bit, still selects products randomly.

You do NOT need individual shipping for this version

NOTE: If needed, please change the configuration_group_id and configuration_id the to new and unique value before you run the SQL file.. So that it doesnt conflict with any data you currently have!

Screenshots are included of the admin and catalog pages
