I noticed when looking at your site that it loads unbelievably slowly, so much so that I can see each element load into the page before the scripts then hide them. But then I am having connection issues lately so maybe that’s me – might be worth checking load times though!
Sorry, only version of IE I have here is 9, which loads fine, as does Chrome and FF

Damn, can’t believe I didn’t see that! Magdor is right, the ‘template’ folder is just to tell you to put its contents into your own template. Just remove that level and you’ll be fine!

Sorry, I didn’t want you to think I was just ignoring the help you’ve very patiently supplied. I’m extremely grateful for your input, but its gone over my head somewhat. I’m going to have to try and do some working out of this hooks stuff. It’s just frustrating that it’s not simpler!

I have been looking at this (for HOURS!) and failed miserably. I have managed to fudge my way round it, for now at least, with the following:

In ../woocommerce/classes/class-wc-product.php, change line 1524 from

'price_html' 			=> $this->min_variation_price != $this->max_variation_price ? '<span class="price">' . $variation->get_price_html() . '</span>' : '',

to

'price_html' 			=> $this->min_variation_price != $this->max_variation_price ? '<span class="price">' . $variation->get_price_html() . '</span><span style="font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: bold;"> + VAT </span><span style="font-style:italic">(where applicable)</span>' : '',

I’ve absolutely no doubt whatsoever that this is the wrong and possibly a dangerous way to do this, but I needed some way of highlighting the VAT element and this is what I managed. Absolutely any help in doing it a more robust way would be hugely appreciated!

Excellent! Yes I can confirm you’ve fixed it. Very pleased I found your plugin now (can’t remember where I first saw it though, certainly wasn’t here because I watched a video of you installing it). Many thanks for providing the fix.

Now I know that adding content CAN be done, I’m even more determined to get a fix for my VAT issue https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/vat-breakdown-on-product-page?replies=1 . Fancy coding another plugin? ;o)

Many thanks for that. At least that file looks *relatively* easy to unpick and reorder aesthetically

It almost seems to have been made intentionally complicated! I still don’t get what you’ve posted (but many sincere thanks for trying to help!) and there’s so much of these pages that I want to modify the layout of. For example, in the Cart page the ‘continue to checkout’ button is ABOVE the shipping calulator module, even though the customer has to choose his shipping method from the calculator BEFORE he clicks the Continue button. All these edits should be relatively simple, if only woo hadn’t obfuscated the layout so much that even simple edits are a nightmare. I’m not sure this is the product for me really

It’s all about perception. Being a bolt-on for WordPress, woocommerce isn’t a ‘proper’ online selling solution a la Zencart or similar, because ‘people only use WP for silly little blogs and stuff’ and ‘nobody who’s SERIOUS about selling would use WP’, so support systems don’t need to be robust. Note that’s not MY view, but I genuinely get the impression its the one Woo use. After all, they’re traditionally a WP themes supplier rather than an ecommerce supplier, ain’t they?

It’s more about monetisation than anything else at Woo (not that that makes them much different than anyone else in this marketplace). I asked them a question about their product, and they replied saying basically ‘buy an extension or a theme and we’ll look at it, other than that, get lost’. Yep, it’s a ‘free’ bolt-on, but as you rightly say it’s not really – any serious seller is going to need to buy several of their (not cheap) commercial extensions to get a store running at anything other than the most basic level. I was willing to buy an extension as long as it dealt with my issue, but without anything other than gut instinct to back that up I’m still not convinced its for me.

Sorry, my reply is just a vent too!

Yes, its in the_content. Basically I’m trying to check for a shipping option being present within a Woocommerce cart page, and if so to print a warning. In an ideal world I’d modify the output of the call that posts the shipping element there in the first place, but woocommerce seems to be almost *intentionally* complicated to unpick!

No worries – I have ‘blonde moments’ too! (Can we still say things like that? Is it ‘blondist’? :o) )

Here’s one here, just scroll down to “How much do I need” and expand the tab for the calculator. It’s a slightly modified version of the form (just css edits though) but gives you an idea of what it can be used for

Well its great to know it isn’t just me struggling!

I’ve already been that far though, created copies in suffusion/woocommerce and copied over the templates, and had a play with single-product.php. Unfortunately the only thing I managed to do was to take the Product Description block and push it up above the image, etc.

The issue arises because single-product.php doesn’t have a linear progression through the page, like for example:

<div itemscope itemtype=blah>
  <div class="summary">
   <h1 itemprop="name" class="product_title entry-title">P2 Pond Paint</h1><div itemprop="offers" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Offer">
<p itemprop="price" class="price"><del><span class="amount">&pound;26.00</span></del> <ins><span class="amount">&pound;24.00</span></ins></p>
<link itemprop="availability" href="https://schema.org/InStock" />
</div>

<form action="/EastRidingKoi/shop/p2-pond-paint/?add-to-cart=187" class="cart" method="post" enctype='multipart/form-data'>

<div class="quantity"><input name="quantity" data-min="1" data-max="" value="1" size="4" title="Qty" class="input-text qty text" maxlength="12" /></div><button type="submit" class="single_add_to_cart_button button alt">Add to cart</button>
</form>

<div class="product_meta">
<span itemprop="productID" class="sku">SKU: sku_01.</span>
</div>

</div><!-- .summary -->

<div class="woocommerce_tabs">
<ul class="tabs">
<li class="description_tab"><a href="#tab-description">Description</a></li>

If it WAS laid out logically like that, I’d have no trouble editing it to suit my needs, but there’s just a call to a function ‘single-page’ and no indication of how I can track that down or edit its layout! If you’ve any ideas on where that’s defined, I’d bear your children. Well I wouldn’t, because that’s physically impossible, but I’d be damn grateful!

Yup, many thanks – sorted me too.
(Now, if only there was a way to ‘roll up’ in IE8 as well as 9!

Have fudged a way through this, but note its not particularly neatly coded – css isn’t my bag!
All I did was create copies of my output boxes by adding a new ouput and setting its formula to the id of my ‘main’ output, then wrapped that with a FreeHTML box above and below it with my text.
To lay it out in the page, I set each of the three elements (FreeHTML block, ‘copy’ output block, and 2nd FreeHTML block) to width:half and then in the 1.css file adjusted div.jzzf_half { max-width: 525px; } and left the title of my copy output box blank, and finally adjusted the output box size `.jzzf_form input[type=text] { width: 35px; }
` to ‘wrap’ it all onto a line.

I did note that Chrome and FF laid out text over more than one line neatly, but IE8 (though not IE9) left space for another line between each line. Finally tracked that down to a space that’s for some reason automatically included for .jzzf_message, so just added ‘height: 0px; in the 1.css file for that. Result, all three browsers wrap my output fairly neatly into a text block (example here).
Like I said, not the prettiest way round, and I still have the output boxes around the output elements, but its good enough for my use. Hope that helps in some way!
