I've got the responsibility of editing an existing ProductCart that another person/team already had setup-- and it appears they're using the "content1" field of the Products table for some content on the products page-- but I can't see where you're supposed to be able to edit that field in the admin interface! Maybe I'm missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated. I don't think updating HTML via SQL is ideal :)

your "content1" reference makes me suspect that this store may have my tabbed product page module installed:

May I have a link to your store, please, so I might be able to assist? And perhaps e-mail me at my site (or PM me) so I have your contact info.

Thanks for the reply. I tried to DM you, but it says your box is full.

Do you have an email address I can reach you at?

Is there a way for me to tell if that module is installed on the site? It's been through a few ProductCart patches-- so wouldn't I have stumbled across custom code intermingled with the official code?

e-mail me at mailto:greg@greybearddesign.com" rel="nofollow - greg@greybearddesign.com please. Or call me at 530 926 1192.

Depending upon who did the upgrade, and how thorough they may have been, anything is possible.

Hi, I believe content1 is part of the Custom Input Fields. If you have some defined (Products > Manage Custom Fields) you can add/edit them via "Custom Fields" Accessible via a list of products, or via the "Custom Fields"link shown near the top of the page when editing a product.

Hamish - that's brilliant. I looked at the site, don't see my tabs, and don't have a record of this store having contacted me. However, on looking just now, I don't see CSF on either the product pages nor the search page.

I wrote back to Nicholas and was waiting for his call so we could discuss over the phone.

Nicholas, does Hamish's direction put you in to the correct direction at all? Do you have CSF values defined?
