My first ZenCart tip
So, I’m going to offer up my first ZenCart tip - it’s something I learned yesterday.
I’ve done a few ZenCart installations/customizations in the last year. Thank God, the more I do it, the better I get. ZenCart can be daunting the first time you tackle it. I have ideas on how to make it better, but I don’t think there’s many of the experts out there who would agree with my methods. BUT - I will say that they work for me.
So, out of all of the ZenCart installations I’ve done, there’s one recurring theme that seems to be happening: the need for extra fields. Namely, the need for a secondary “description” field for each product. Every client I’ve ever had has needed this capability. Up to now, I’ve managed to do what they desire with creative CSS code - and I mean creative. I pride myself on my clean, semantic code - but the need for what some of these people want forces me to revert to some really interesting, “out of the box” thinking (aka, reverting back to 1997 on some occasions, and completely ignoring some browsers on others.)
In every instance, it would have been really great if I could have just one more field for my description.
And now, I’ve figured it out!
