Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if any of the experts could help me with a couple of points.

Firstly I need to put spaces between the different info sections and secondly was wondering about a buy it now button straight from categories, I have searched but to no avail.

buy it now buttons on the category listings is just a matter of going into admin> configuration> Product Listings and set Display Multiple Products Qty Box Status and Set Button Location to 0
this turns off the quantity box, and removes the add to cart button from the top and bottom of the center colomn and puts the buy now buttons on the individual listings,
you'll need to do the same in all listings, new listings and featured listings under configuration in admin.

making spaces, easiest way to do this is by adding this
Code:
<br /><br />
the br tags are line breaks, if you want to start a new sentence on a new line, you would add a br tag to the end of the sentence, adding two br tags will tell the browser to start two new lines, one will be blank, giving you a space between paragraphs

Thanks seamus for the quick reply, you explained the but it now brill.

I understand the br tag but dont know where to add it.

Another question while we are here I have used an adsense mod mainly to change scripts hassle free, it worked at first but I think I must have broken it somehow as every time I insert something it is blank and I lose my footer.

in define pages, say you are doing your shipping and returns,
do into tools> define pages> define_shipping info.php
add the br tags anywhere you want to have a space between paragraphs like this
 
Code:
some text here
<br /><br />
some more text here
save the file,


when you view the page you'v just defined, as any one viewing your site would, that will show like this
Quote
some text here

some more text here

create the spaces between the paragraphs where you want them, and just add the br tags in the space

<edit to add>
the footer, your probably missing out somthing simple like a single quote mark, like this one here '
small mistakes like one missing single quote mark will break the footer

Thanks seamus,

But what I meant was on the index where the information box is the shipping & returns, privacy etc I wish to place a gap betwee them.

ah right, on the side box ye mean, not on the page,

give the side box a line height like this,

in stylesheet.css find this code

Code:
.sideBoxContent {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
padding:0.4em;
}

and add in a line height like this

Code:
.sideBoxContent {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
padding:0.4em;
line-height:17px;
}

that will spread out the lines giving a gap between them, you might need to make your right colomn wider though as this will give you a gap between all lines, and some of your links spill onto two lines like your conditions of use, I would make the right column wide enough to keep that one link on one line, the rest will be alright, then the line height will give you the gap you want, just play about with the 17px till you get the size of gap you want,

Just a note on the buy it now button, if you have products with attributes then the buy it now button wont appear in the listings for those products. I'm sure seamus remembers much head scratching by both of us wondering why some products I have on my site had the button and others didn't. It's always the most obvious answer that gets overlooked lol
