This is the default template used to display detail information about a product. If different detail templates are to be utilized, a database field in the product record can be added to contain the name of the template to be used.
On most of these pages you will find the following features:
Related Items
Related items are entered using the merchant control panel. You can have as many related items as desired. This display can use any format--multi-column, alternating rows-- you name it. We chose a simple row-by-row to display a maximum amount of information and add-to-cart options. You can also provide a "quanity box" method of adding multiple items to the cart on this page.
Product Options
Product options are entered in using the merchant control panel. Product options can take on several forms: short text, dropdown, checkbox, radio, textarea, or upload file. They can have different effects on product price: add-to price, replace price, be a one-time charge, indicate quanitity price-breaks, indicate quantities and price (like our buy by the case) option, and lastly, tie options to other inventory products.
Product Reviews
Product reviews, either customer or site supplied can be listed (as in the best seller category). Multiple customer reviews require the product rating and review module.
Customer rating
A product's average rating can be displayed using a specified symbol. In this site, we use the full and half-full wine glasses. This page also has a rate-it link. Product rating requires the product rating and reviews addon module.
PHP If Statements
This page contains a number of simple PHP If statements. These can control the display of item information depending on the contents of item fields. The else clause can be utilized as well.
