Post custom product page 
Is it possible make the product page inc file look similar to the following page: http://www.oblockbooks.com/shoppingcart/html/pages/tcr2439.htm

I would like the left and right columns to appear if possible. If not, just the left column would be fine. Do I do this with the header file or do I change the productpage inc file? I'm kind of confused.

You'll want to put the columns in the store_header.html and store_footer.html.

The header and footer are meant to contain the 'frame' that you want on every page.

The product page controls only the center 'content' area of the page.

Looking at your pages, you'd want to take everything from

<!-- #BeginLibraryItem "/Library/header.lbi" -->

to

</td>
<td width="60%" valign="top">

and put it in your store_header.html file. Then you'd want to take everything from

</td>

<td width="20%" valign="top" bgcolor="#F3F3F3"><!-- #BeginLibraryItem "/Library/rightcolumnshopping.lbi" -->

to the end (except the /body and /html tags) and put it in your store_footer.html

Then for your product page, try one of the 1-across product pages and move things around as you see fit, using the 'tokens' that are there as placeholders for the product information.

I tried that but it didn't work at all. It totally messed up my whole check out page. I guess I did it wrong.

What happened to your checkout page? Most likely just need to get the table structure sorted out...which can be a pain if you've got lots of nested tables, to keep track of them all...an extra </td> or <table> tag in the header, footer, or orderform can make things move to weird places.

In a nutshell, what we're going for is this:

[i]<table>... Heading band, O'block books all that stuff...</table>
<table>...Navigation band, buttons N stuff ....</table>

<table><tr><td>Left Column</td><td>[/i]Center Column - Content [b]</td><td>Right Column</td></table>

<table> ...bottom stuff, links etc ...</table>[/b]

with the italicized stuff being in store_header.html and the bolded stuff being in store_footer.html

Then the center column is taken care of by your productPage for product pages, or your orderform for checkout pages...

Looking at your site it looks like you have a different layout for checkout pages than for the rest of the store. So possibly it isn't playing well with the header/footer when you update them to match rest of store...probably some extraneous table code somewhere but that's a guess, of course.

Sorry, had my italics and bolds turned off. Sad

<table>... Heading band, O'block books all that stuff...</table>
<table>...Navigation band, buttons N stuff ....</table>

<table><tr><td>Left Column</td><td>
Center Column - Content </td><td>Right Column</td></table>

<table> ...bottom stuff, links etc ...</table>

Thank you so much for your help on this issue. Still working on it...

Could you tell me if there is any code that is required in the storeheader and store footer templates in order for them to work properly? Or do I just have to put the codes for the tables and nothing else?

All you [b]need [/b]is your html code (tables, links etc).

Once you get that figured out, there's lots of cool 'snippets' that you can add, to display customer's cart contents, for instance, or a random featured product, or similar things. But the templates themselves do not require any special code. Just the plain old html.
