Needed: Extra pages to describe a product

General Forums General Questions
#1

I am moving my store onto CS-Cart. One of my existing products has about 5 separate pages of descriptive info:



Overview

Features

Etc

Etc

Etc



How can I add separate pages to a product description in CS-Cart?

#2

One possibility is to create separate product tabs (Position=Product deatails page) for each type of information. You could create the tabs using Unique HTML as the Block Content. The you could assign the blocks to your products as needed and write your HTML as you normally would.

That’s what I have tried. I can’t see where you input the html content for the new block. And while the block is empty of content it does not seem to be visible on the page where i created it.

Create the HTML Block in Design Blocks. Make sure it is set up as follows:

Name: Whatever you want the tab to display

Block content: Unique HTML content

Position: Product details page



You can position the tabs in whatever default order you want by dragging them around in the “PRODUCT DETILS PAGE TABS” section.



While editing a product in Catalog->Products:

  1. Select the Blocks tab;
  2. Click the ‘+’ on a previously created tab you wish to enable;
  3. Place a check on “Enable for this page”;
  4. Click the ‘Edit’ link and enter your HTML, then hit save.



    You can reorder tabs on a per-product basis by dragging them around as you wish.
