Add And Subtract Product Description Fields
I want to be able to go to the database of the products and be able to add and subtract fields to it. I want a "Manufacturer" and "Manufacturer Product No." and others. Also, if I have to make room for these, I know that there are a few of them that I will not need on this shopping cart. Any suggestion?

Re: Add And Subtract Product Description Fields
Go to Database Utilities, then Manage User Defined Table Columns to add columns to a particular table. If you want to add more fields to the product table, just click on product. I know this allows you to add fields.
Hope this helps.

Re: Add And Subtract Product Description Fields
Thanks Larry,
It does. I am now able to add custom fields. Secondary question, can I take out pre-existing fields (there's no option for this in this area)?

Re: Add And Subtract Product Description Fields
I added a field using the instructions above. My question now is, how do I make the information in that field appear on my product detail page, like the rest of the information does?

You are going to need to edit the module ccp51/cgi-bin/library/modules/ste_prod.pl and I believe in the line [ $column_line = ] in the subroutine "Ste Prod Detail" make sure you input your new field names. Also do the same under the [ foreach $row(@proddetail) { ] line.
I am not sure if these are completely correct... but they worked for me 
. That's how I was able to get the Color and Print variables added to my products
