Hello all, quick questions -

Is there a way to rearrange my product view in each category so that when the page loads it shows the products first, then the products description. As it stands now when a category page loads it shows the page description and the products below.

Thanks!

Only through custom revisions to the script. This is not a switch-selectable choice that you can alter via the admin.

Ok thanks for that info. So I am assuming that i would flip flop pcPageDesc and pcShowProducts?

I am a ASP newb.

Thanks.

roughly speaking, yes. just make a backup copy of your files before you dig in so you have a recovery option.

Ok thats what I figured. Navigating that file I found the pcPageDesc class inside a table. Now, is this as easy as moving this chunk of code below the products..

     ' Start Show long category description
          if (LDesc<>"") and (HideDesc<>"1") then %>
          <tr>
               <td>
                    <div class="pcPageDesc"><%=LDesc%></div>
               </td>
          </tr>
     <% end if
     ' End Show Categories Description

a while back, I moved this description code to the end of section and it worked fine for me. Just need to relocate it to the right place!
