Where is the MoreInfo Template information stored?

[cameron]

I cant seem to find there this template is being store at this stage. I want to customize the look of my MoreInfo Pages and I'm figuring thats next. I edited my product template to include some MoreInfo tags at the bottom and now I'm getting duplicates of the products on the MoreInfo Pages.

Here is the code...

I believe that these lines are used to include a moreinfo definition that is used in multiple product templates.

Code: Select all

[-- IF VAR.MoreInfoTemplate --]
[-- INCLUDE VAR.MoreInfoTemplate PROCESS --]
[-- ELSE --]
[-- INCLUDE Classic-MoreInfoPage PROCESS --]
[-- END_IF --]

Depending on which ShopSite template you are using as your basis you would need to edit one of the include files that is referenced.

I'm not sure where "VAR.MoreInfoTemplate" is defined but it may be in the page template. So check your page template and see if that value is defined and if it is then you will need to edit that include file. Otherwise you would edit the include file Classic-MoreInfoPage.

The information you added to the template is what is causing the duplicate products since they are also defined in the above include file.

Note that you could just delete the section I quoted above and use the code you added if you want.

Jim,

That is going to help very much. As before, I truly appreciate you spreading your knowledge of this product.

Thanks again
Erik

I am still having a problem where I cant change what appears on the MoreInfo Pages. No matter what changes I make, it seems that the product is displayed twice.

Does anyone know where the "IF VAR.MoreInfoPage" is stored?

I am looking to alter that piece.

Erik

[cameron]

I dont know what it is but no matter what I cannot get the moreinfo page to change at all .... I even changed the page template for the product, thinking that would do the trick but it didnt.

You can see my problem here:

http://www.pongman.com/drivers_G10.html

You can start at the home page to drill down to any other product and replicate the same error.

Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Erik

[cameron]

So I just figured out that if I dont have a product assigned to a page then I cant edit the appearance of that products page.

Is there anyway to get around this?

[Jim]

Since you have defined the moreinfo page yourself just comment out or delete this section of the template

Code: Select all

[-- VAR.MoreInfo "yes" --]

[-- IF VAR.MoreInfoTemplate --]
[-- INCLUDE VAR.MoreInfoTemplate PROCESS --]
[-- ELSE --]
[-- INCLUDE Classic-MoreInfoPage PROCESS --]
[-- END_IF --]


[-- VAR.MoreInfo "" --]
