Table in Description Problem

Post by sully210 » Sun Sep 12, 2010 2:08 am

Hello All ;D

I put a table in the description section of the product catalog and it shows up larger than the actual description window in the front end. Here is an example:

http://store.villagecigaremporium.com/i ... duct_id=67

There are really two things I would like to know:

1) I need to know how to get the table to appear sized correctly on the front end?
2) I would also like to know if there is an easy way for an idiot like me to somehow make it so that that table automatically shows up for all cigars sold on the site in the back end and not the other items???? As it stands now the owner of the cigar shop is just duplicating products and changing content.

Thanks again for this amazing product and any help you can give.

Best,

Sully

Thank you,
Sully :)

Thank you!
I tried that and here is what the code looks like and the result is even worse. The table is bigger now. Did I do it wrong???

Source Code:

Code: Select all

<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" style="width: 900px; height: 73px;">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Name<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Ring<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Length<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Box<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Origin</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Wrapper</span></strong><strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);"><br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Binder<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Filler<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Strength<br />
				</span></strong></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				It's a Girl (Brevas Royales)</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				42</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				5.5</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				25</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				Dominican Republic</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				Cameroon</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				Dominican Republic</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				Dominican Republic</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				Med-Full</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<hr />
Result page: http://store.villagecigaremporium.com/i ... uct_id=190

I entered the <p> tag just before the table and just after the table and the "&nbsp;</p>" was automatically added inside the tag at the top and outside the tag at the bottom.

So here is the code from one that I have not yet changed:

Code: Select all

<table border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" style="width: 900px; height: 73px;">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Name<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Ring<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Length<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Box</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Origin</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Wrapper</span></strong><strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);"><br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Binder<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Filler<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Strength<br />
				</span></strong></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				8-5-8 Maduro Cabinet</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				47</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				6</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				25</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				Dominican Republic</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				Connecticut, Cameroon</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				Dominican Republic</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				Dominican Republic</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				Med-Full</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>
<hr />
I added the tags like this"

Code: Select all

<p><table border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" style="width: 900px; height: 73px;">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Name<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Ring<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Length<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Box</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Origin</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Wrapper</span></strong><strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);"><br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Binder<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Filler<br />
				</span></strong></td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				<strong><span style="color: rgb(139, 69, 19);">Strength<br />
				</span></strong></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				8-5-8 Maduro Cabinet</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				47</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				6</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				25</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				Dominican Republic</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">
				Connecticut, Cameroon</td>
			<td style="text-align: center;">

			<td style="text-align: center;">

			<td style="text-align: center;">

		</tr>
	</tbody>

The code was automatically changed to what I posted above. Should I do something else or the same thing differently??

Thanks again,

Sully

Crap! I deleted the "&nbsp;</p>" and left the <p> above the first line of table code and below the last line of table code. When I saved my changes it deleted the entire product????

Thank you,
Sully :)

I did finally figure it out :) All I had to do was set the width of the table to 100% in the source. I did notice that if you click source and modify it, you need to click source again before saving or the changes will not take effect. Thanks to everyone for their efforts and input :)

Thank you,
Sully :)

Had the same issue on v.1.4.9.3.

Solution good until now:

Make width on 100%, eight: empty, and important: insert some <p> "whatever you please"</p> after the table.

... and voila, the problem disappears.
