Hi,

Is it possible to hide the "More details..." and the "Back to the top" links on the product description page? The reason is that I do not have a lot of info on that page so having these 2 links does not look right.

One of the easiest ways not to show a field on the page is to change the storefront CSS file by adding left: -9999px;
One of my clients didn't want to see the stock amount so I added the positioning so that the stock display is negative.
My css looked like this:

/* Style the product stock */
    #pcMain .pcShowProductStock {
        color: #666666;
        position: absolute;
        left: -9999px;
    }

You can do something similar to the hide more details and back to the top.

Thanks Pat. What section would I actually be modifying in the pcStorefront.css?

I found a fix that is easier. REMOVE all your short descriptions. The long description will be used and "read more details" and "back to top" disappear. This way you do not have the short and long descriptions on the page, just the long.

Thanks. It works!

Question: What is the side effect for removing the Short description?

Nothing that I can see. If the short description is missing, part of the long description is used in the popup, for example. My clients haven't complained about any problems with this fix.

if you list your products "in a list" then your descriptions will not show up if they are all long descriptions.
