You're a genius! Thanks for that, it totally worked. See a sample product page here.

Thanks again!

In the first section of code, delete all the lines except the first and last so you have something like this:


Public Sub pcs_ProductDescription
End Sub

In the 2nd section of code, remove JUST this text:


if psDesc <> "" then

Make sure to KEEP the %> after the THEN jeyword.

Then remove the "end if" that is one line above the "End Sub" line.

K...so here's the code that i found that would display the description next to the product, I just don't know what I should do to remove it from the right of the image and just leave the description below it.

This code is closer to the top of the page:

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' START: Show Product Description
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Public Sub pcs_ProductDescription
    if psDesc <> "" then
        response.write "

"
response.Write psDesc & " " & dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_viewPrd_21") & ""
response.write "

"
else
response.write "

"
response.Write pDetails
response.write "

"
    end if
End Sub
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' END: Show Product Description
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then this code is lower and says it's the long description.

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' START: Long Product Description
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Public Sub pcs_LongProductDescription
' Display long product description if there is a short description
    if psDesc <> "" then %>

<%=dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_viewPrd_22 ")%>

<%=pDetails%>

<%
response.write "

" & dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_viewPrd_23") & "

"
%>

<%
end if
End Sub
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' END: Long Product Description
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So does anyone know what I would have to change to make the "long" description be the only thing that shows and it's below the product image? (without the more details link at the top) It's probably something simple, I just don't know what that simple thing is. :) I'll play around with it. I guess I could just delete all of the code from that fisrt section. Maybe that would do the trick. (good thing I made a copy of the original file)

Sorry, my bad...the description field is the required field, not the short description. But if the short description is completely blank, then PC displays the description field to the right of the product picture. If the short description has a blank, then the "More Details" link displays (as you mentioned). So you would just need to modify viewprdcode.asp to turn not even check the short description field (then you won't need to put in a space, hide the More Details link and just have the description displayed below the picture.

Short description isn't required on my version of PC. Just the regular description is required in the admin section. So i just want to move the data from the "product description" below the image. I'll look at those files and post my findings.

The space is needed becasue the short description is a required field. You would need to modify admin/instaprd.asp and admin/modprda.asp to not require those fields.

To change the "More details" link and anything about the display of a product details page, you modify viewPrdCode.asp. There are sections labeled for each section of the display.

Heres and example of what it looks like now:

I had to add a SPACE BAR to the "short description" field in order to get it to move the text below the image. But the "more details" link is still there. I would prefer no link there and I would also prefer not to have to add a SPACE BAR to the "short description" field in order to move the info below the image.

If you know which page I can edit to do this and what I need to change to make it work, I would greatly appreciate it. Just trying to get it to look good and not be so cluttered. :)
Thanks in advance.
