Hi I'm tracing this one too.
I found various threads so far but no actually answers and also that guy getting a dressing down for being rude.

Are you saying to use views to directly affect the Catalog display or to create a view that mimics the Catalog and replace it?

I found the uc_products view which I guessed was the basis for the catalogue.
However when I altered it there was no change to the catalog view making me think otherwise.

Any helpful leads?

I just want to put the product description in the catalog list view.
It's gotta be easy, but like a number of people here we can't seem to find the right threads
