If you wish for this product to appear on the home page as a `featured

up the page the item will appear. 

6.7.3 

Version display type 

From CactuShop v5.1 onwards, there is a choice of how versions are 

displayed. The first is for this product to follow the

config setting, see 7.4.4.11.

category, hold down 

Ctrl

6.7.5 

Product name, strapline, description and specifications 

Because products can be in several languages, there will be a name, strapline, 

description and specifications field for each language you have set up. The 

strapline is the subtitle that appears in red (by default!) on the front end 

pages just under the product title. 

The specifications field is designed for pasting of tabular data (specifications 

tables, etc.) and as such is formatted on the front end with a fixed width font. 

Normally text on a page uses letters that vary in width (such as in this 

sentence!) but using a fixed width font means that each character will occupy 

the same width, making simple text line up into columns. Also, the 

specifications text appears within 
 tags, meaning that lines 

won't wrap. The text that displays will only have line breaks where you add 

them. In other words, if you copy and paste a table from a word processor 

document or from Excel (for example), the values will line up nicely into 

columns. 

Occasionally some stores decide to use this field for extra description rather 

than tabular data   in this case we advise removing the 
 tags 

from the 

product.asp

 page.
