More information page

[joediffdez]

How do I style or select what info will be on the more information page? I want to add some extra fields that I created but I don't see where to add that or how to arrange the order of the information on the page. I would want it to have the product name first and in bold, the image, the extra fields, the price then add to cart. Right now it's image, description, name, price, add to cart.

Please help me, the more I work with this the more confused I seem to be getting.

What is the URL to your website? Are you using a custom page template or custom product template currently? Have you gone through the Quick & Easy Template Tutorial? Here are two somewhat generic answers below.

1- you can copy the product more information page template that your site is currently using and modify that. If you are using a specific theme in ShopSite (Such as Curved, Modern, Congruence, etc), then you can go to Merchandising > Custom Templates > Includes > Copy ShopSite Include, and find the include file that is NameOfTheme-MoreInfoPage (or something similar to that format). Once you copy it, make a copy of your copy and rename it the exact same as the original. You can now make modifications to the file. Everytime you make changes, save those changes, then go to Utilities > Publish > Regenerate, to recreate your product pages with the updated file to see the changes you made. If you are not using a theme, more of the plain theme, or your more information pages are just plain (no additional images or styling) then it is likely they are using the Classic-MoreInfoPage. You can copy that by going to Merchandising > Custom Templates > Includes > Copy ShopSite Includes, and make modifications to that file as I mentioned above.

2- If you have your own design, I would suggest creating your own custom product template using the Quick & Easy Template Tutorial (link below). This will create a basic product layout, and allow you to use your design and simply copy and paste a table with the majority of the product information into the middle of your design. This gives you a customized look without much knowledge of ShopSite templates. You can then add in lines of code like the following to add in the extra product fields (note, I also included the field titles).
[-- IF PRODUCT.Field1 --]<br><b>[-- STORE.ProductField1 --]:</b> [-- PRODUCT.Field1 --][-- END_IF --]

We are using a custom template and I followed the quick and easy template tutorial to set up our store. Is the product template I created the one dictating the order of the information for the product?

Secondly, can you explain the code a little bit more? From what I'm understanding,

[-- IF PRODUCT.Field1 --]<br> checks the product to see if field 1 has any info...if it does it does...

<b>[-- STORE.ProductField1 --]:</b> [-- PRODUCT.Field1 --]

I don't understand what this does... I've used the [-- PRODUCT.Field1 --] tag but not the [-- STORE.ProductField1 --] and I don't know what the colon in between the two signifies.

and [-- END_IF --] ends the IF statement.

Yes, select the custom template you created for your products by going to Products > Edit Product Layout, and choose your template from the pull down menu there (should be at the bottom).

For the logic, the [-- STORE.ProductField1 --] brings in the text provided under Preferences > Extra Fields. Under Preferences > Extra fields, you can name your fields so that you remember what information is in each field. For example, if I add "Color" in the field for product field 1 under Preferences > Extra Fields. Then I include the code I provided in my previous post in my template, the result that will appear on my product page when the page is published will look like:

Color: Red
