Create standard layout for product description

Hi!

Im trying to create a standard (default) description page. What I mean is that if I create a new product, the description is pre-filled in with images and headlines like the attachment

I am copy-pasting from old products now, but the layout tends to screw-up when I do that.
I would really love having this stuff filled in by default when I create a new product. Anybody know where I put this?

It's like te custom field I created for EAN, that one's pre-filled with zeros.

Hi,

If you use the "copy" button of the Business edition, you can simply duplicate your existing products when creating new ones so that would do what you want already.

Otherwise, you can edit the file "form" of the view "product" for your backend template and add your HTML directly in the product element if it's a new product with such code:
<?php if(empty($this->element->product_description)) $this->element->product_description='My default HTML'; ?>

Thanx! But im curious as to where I need to place this piece of code.
I'm guessing somewhere in the main info but I'm unsure where exactly.

When I place this code, I need to edit the 'My default HTML' and create a HTML based template with that?

Sorry for being a pain-in-the-ass ;)

You can edit the file "form" of the view "product" for your backend template via the menu Display>Views of HikaShop and add the code after the first <?php tag.

Make sure that you're editing it for your backend template and not another one.
I don't see another reason why it wouldn't work.

My deepest apology! I edited for my template, forgot that the backend uses bluestork ^^

Silly me :D

Kudo's to you and your plugin!

It was a bit of a challange to get the right font, because we can't use the ' because of the format, but the old formatting <font face=""> works great. (For any people that have this question in the future.
