New "on_sale"-like option in product list

[4140]

I've added the option to display an image in a product's page when a checkbox is checked in BO. It's just like the on_sale option and to add it I've copied and modified all the lines of text about on_sale in all core files, BO and product page, also created a field in the data base.

 

All works fine until the moment I decided to add a text to the product's listing in product list if the checkbox is marked.

 

In product.tpl I'm calling the image with the following line

{if $product->free_bag}somethig-something{/if}

Just like the on_sale function is called.

 

In product-list.tpl this does not work, so I check how on_sale is being called and modify it to get the following

{if isset($product.free_bag) && $product.free_bag == 1}something-something{/if}

But nothing happens.

 

What am I missing/doing wrong here?

Did you try to activate the smarty debug in order to check if your variable is available ? Did you modify classes in order to load your data ?

Just tried it in homefeatured.tpl and it works just fine.

Product-list still doesn't show it. Turned on smarty debug, but didn't find anything.

In Smarty debug you should see all your data. Did you see free_bag in products ?

It isn't there. I can't understand why - I've added it in all the core files where on_sale was mentioned and in the template files where I need it. Still works in product page and homefeatured, but not in product-list.

It's probably related how product-list grab its data. Have a look in the php page and check which class it calls.

I am not sure where and what to look for.

 

Thanks for your help, btw

Nevermind that. I don't know what exactly happened, but now it is as it should be.

 

Thank you for your time!
