Product Desciptions - Can they contain FEATURES

[andyh2003]

Hi All,

 

Im currently setting up a shop where i would like to include certain "features" in the product descriptions.

 

for example, set up a Feature as 'height' set the value, and use HTML code to include that 'feature' in the description, this means if i change the feature, it is automaticaly in the description?

 

Im sure ive seen this is possible somewhere, but cant find where

 

 

Also, does anyone know if the description field on products can contain PHP code?

What you would have to do is add it to your template where the features are displayed in the description area. But it would have to display all of the features attached with the product, or the code would become rather complex.

 

If you look at your products.tpl close to the bottom you can see the loop for out putting features, put that loop in what ever description you want.

Hi andyh,

Have you already created the features and feature values in your Back Office under Catalog > Features? Once you've done that, you can select the proper features in the Features tab for each individual product, and it will show up at the bottom of the product listing.

 

 

I hope this helps.

Hi Guys.

 

Thanks the the replies.

 

Ive created the "features" however, for each product i will have several features, and only want to show certain ones.

 

ie, product 1 could have feature, Height, Width, Weight, REF1, REF2, REF3,

 

I would like my product description to only contain, Height, Width & weight.... leaving REF1, REF2, REF3 hidden from the description, (i will also be hiding the features tab)

Hi andy,

That is exactly how the Features tab works. Please check our guide here for more information.

 

I hope this helps.

Hi Mike,

 

Not 100% sure if im making what i want clear.

 

OK, so i have the features already in the feature tab, so they are visable on the front end.. under additional info.

 

however, it contains a few things i dont want visable to my customers, but would like to be included in the search index

 

So, im modyfiying the front end to remove the additional info tab, and would like to contain certain info in the "description" field of the product.... if where you put the product description and can include HTML etc.

 

Im sure ive seen somewhere you can include them using a code....obiously only including certain ones...

 

 

does that explain what im trying to achieve ?
