How do I use this dead space for Accessories or Info etc

[h4mm1e]

Hi,

 

 

Please see my attached screen shot, I would like to use the highlighted area for displaying product info of displaying available accesories

 

Would somebody be willing to help me / talk me through what i need to edit?

In your product page, when you write text in the short description, it does not appear on your website front-page?

[h4mm1e]

Nope.

 

every product has a short description as can be seen here

With the basic theme, you can see the product short description ?

 

Can you check product.tpl in your current theme folder and check if you have anything like that :

 

<div id="short_description_block">
  {if $product->description_short}
   <div id="short_description_content" class="rte align_justify">{$product->description_short}</div>
  {/if}
  {if $product->description}
  <p class="buttons_bottom_block"><a href="javascript:{ldelim}{rdelim}" class="button">{l s='More details'}</a></p>

Carl, I have no idea what i'm looking at, the file is massive! i have attached the product.tpl file

product.zip

Your file seems to be ok.

 

With the basic theme you also have this problem of short description not being displayed ?

with the basic theme the small description does show next to the picture yes.

It could be hidden using css.

 

To address your original question, you could try Tomerg3's accessories module. http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/prestashop-free-modules/33-product-accessories.html

Thanks for the reply Jhnstcks.

 

Where should I look to see if it's hidden in CSS?

 

I have downloaded the Accessories module and will see how it it fits with everythin else.

In the file product.css, look for this line

#primary_block #short_description_block

Look for something like display:none and delete that bit of code.
