In ver 3.5, when we told a bto product to skip the Product Details Page, the product details showed up on the configure product page. This was very handy for items that were required to be customized because it is one less click that the customer has to make.
It appear that this feature had been removed from ver 4. I didn't realize this till a customer called and informed me he couldn't find find any product information for our grains.
We have 30ish products I had to go and reconfigure to show the Product Details Page. We didn't want to have ti setup this way. Please consider fixing this in future patches.

Hi Desiree,
I tested this and I was unable to replicate the issue. Please raise a support ticket.

The same issue is on my store as well, and probably on any v4 store. I thought it was the same way on 3.5? but oh well..
You can just put <%=pDetails%> in the configurePrd.asp page just before the configurable options section

Sorry, that info wasn't quite correct. Here's how I got long description to show up on my configurePrd.asp page:
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' START: product configuration table
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
%>
<div id="pagecontent">
<h2 class="tabset_label">Table of Contents</h2>
<ul class="tabset_tabs">
<li><a href="#config" class="active">Configure and Buy</a></li><li><a href="#details">More Information</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="config" class="tabset_content">
<h2 class="tabset_label">Configure and Buy</h2>
<%
pcs_BTOConfigTable
%>
</div>
<div id="details" class="tabset_content">
<h2 class="tabset_label">More Information</h2>
<%
pcs_LongProductDescription
%>
</div>
</div>
<%
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' END: product configuration table
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can see the area where the product configuration usually goes. I wrapped those in some tab divs so the customer can toggle back and forth between details and config. You can see it in action at http://www.liftchair.com/Regal-6p272-config.htm - http://www.liftchair.com/Regal-6p272-config.htm

Can you tell me exactly where you placed this in the code? I'm not exactly sure where to place it.

Desiree,
Please let me know if you still want to incorporate this into your store. I'll be happy to walk you through the process over the telephone or on these forums. Sorry for the slow response, apparently I didn't enable any kind of email notification.

Brett,
I wold love some help. I looked at your website. Looks like you know what your doing. :-)
I don't really want a tabbed version though. I just want the top of the configure page to show the product details. I'm not sure where to place the code for this to happen.
If you could let me know where to put it along with the code, that would be very helpful.

Hey, currently doing a backup of my site. I will get you a modified version of the necessary file(s) some time today. I'll make sure to comment it well so you can see what was changed.

*edit*
Heh... that was the code for multiple images on config page. Wrong thread! Few minutes and I'll get you the solution for long desc on config page, It's much simpler.

Ok, so you want to add this code to configurePrdCode.asp:
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' START: Long Product Description
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Public Sub pcs_LongProductDescription
' Display long product description if there is a short description
if psDesc <> "" then %>
<table class="pcShowContent">
<tr>
<td><a name="details"> </a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="pcSectionTitle">
<%=dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_viewPrd_22")%>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="padding:8px;">
<%=pDetails%>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<%
response.write "<div align='right'><a href='#top'>" & dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_viewPrd_23") & "</a></div>"
%>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<%
end if
End Sub
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' END: Long Product Description
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's a sub, so it probably doesn't matter where it goes. I put it
between:
' END: Disallow purchasing. Quote Submission only
...and...
' START: Show SKU
...Then, you need to add
pcs_LongProductDescription
...to configurePrd.asp - this will call the sub.
You'll probably want to put it between:
' END: javascript for calculations
...and...
' START: product configuration table
That way it comes up before the configuration table.
Let me know if that works. Otherwise, please upload your configurePrd.asp and configurePrdCode.asp somewhere and I'll edit them for you. Should be quick change ;)

Hey desiree, I had a few minutes to put the files together. These are original v4 files. Let me know if they work.
uploads/1159/desiree.zip - desiree.zip
I put DESIREE and /DESIREE around the changes I made in each file.

Brett, I replaced the files with the ones you sent me and there isn't any difference. Still no long description on the configure product page.
http://www.highgravitybrew.com/productcart/pc/configurePrd.asp?idproduct=3203
I noticed in the code description it said "Display long product description if there is a short description" So I entered a short description but it still didn't work.
Is there something else I need to do?

I removed that if statement and it works now. Not sure why it was checking for short description to show long description?? Give it a shot. Here are the new files with that if statement removed. uploads/1159/desiree_2.zip - desiree_2.zip
*edit*
I tested those two files on my site with one of my configurable products and it looked fine, with the long description above the config info, so let me know if they still don't work. If so, it must be something contained in one of the include files.
