Product Descriptions in Section Layout

[eck247]

Hi All,

I found this piece of code on the forum (which i cant seem to find again) which displays product descriptions , price , qty , add to cart details into our section layout.

My problem is that the add to cart button does not disappear if the item is out of stock , is this possible ? Could someone help me with this please ?
Also is it possible to show RTS info aswell ?

Or would anyone have a different section layout ?

Thanks,

Eck

Here's a cleaner way:

Go to Design / Library / Layouts / Products. Right-click Compact Layout Using CSS and choose Copy. Rename that copy to be Section Link Product Details Using CSS.

Now in your Section List layout put the following:

<actinic:block type="ProductList">
	<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ListCount%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%201">
		<actinic:variable name="ProductLayout" value="Section Link Product Details Using CSS" />
	</actinic:block>
</actinic:block>

Which will display the product in that Section only if there's a single one there.

Alter the code in Section Link Product Details Using CSS to get the display you want.
