I have attempted a very minor customization of the Alligator Skin Black template and I never can get my actual listings and sometimes even new listing previews to match what shows up in the Custom Template editor. I am close but can't get it fixed. IF SOMEONE COULD FIGURE THIS OUT AND FIX IT FOR ME I WOULD BE GRATEFUL. Auctiva support has proven to be useless.
My only problem (that I am aware of) is that I cannot seperate the [DESCRIPTION] tag from the [PAYMENTINFO] tag so that I can keep the description centered like it belongs and the payment info left-justifid like the rest of the template.
When I load the HTML in FrontPage to look at it it's all one long line which is useless. Here is the code from the Auctiva Custom Template Editor page:
