cjamesme Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi All, I have looked around and cant find anything about modding the product info page, layout in particular. I want to move the boxes provided by the product attributes section into different areas of page. Does anyone know how? also, is there a way to get shipping calculator similar to that of ebay?

Guest Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 There is now way to do this via the Admin panel etc. the only way is to get your hands dirty and grub about with the code. You could try one of the Simple Template system, (or STS) contributions as a starting point, but even there a little html knowledge is needed. Open up the product_info page in a text editor, (notepad will do if you have nothing else), and find the html code for the tables in product_info. If you know a bit about html, you will then be able to figure out where the various elements of the page display within that tables layout, and alter it to suit you. best bet is to play around with the table, back-up the original file, upload and preview the result, and then keep playing about with it till you understand how it works etc. You will break it a few times but thats how you learn! (and thats what the backup is for) good luck - its a steep learning curve but once you have mastered this then you are well on your way to customizing your site!

cjamesme Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 So is there way to seperate the drop down boxes and split them up and insert text between them? I mean the the product attribute boxes. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 That would be quite tricky, and off the top of my head I couldnt give you a definite answer. If you look at product_info you should be able to find the script that deals with the product_info selector boxes. Moving it about the page wouldnt be too difficult to work out, (just copy and paste the whole portion of script to a different, or new location within the html). You may have trouble if you are trying to add text in between selector boxes for different options, as those options may not be universally apparent on every single product page, but any text hard coded in would be. Perhaps someone else could give you a better answer, but you are dipping into the realm of php programming rather than simply altering the layout of a page.

cjamesme Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yes I thought I would be going a lot deeper. All this code is giving me a headache - it's enjoyable to learn new things but wow, this is more complicated and gets more complicated again. Thanks for the help so far - I will play around a bit.
