Get a custom product_attributes in product.tpl?

[rboyart]

Hello,

 

I am creating my prestashop e-commerce for second hand clothing.

I would like to see the status of the cloths in the product page, for that, I created a custom attribute (quality) with four values (not bad, good, very good, Excelent !)

I'm trying to change the product.tpl file, but I don't know how to call the variable (custom attribute) that I just created in the back office.

 

Thank you for your help

hey, your product attribute doesn't appear automatically?

you use default theme?

[rboyart]

yes, I started with the default theme, and I have the normal attributes, but not the one I created myself...

It should show by default?

[vekia]

Yes it should.

 

have you defined product combinations ? you have to add this attribute to combinations

[rboyart]

Ok, thanks. I will copy again the products.tpl file to see if I've changed something.....

[vekia]

hey,

 

thanks for the information.

 

i asked:

have you defined product combinations ? you have to add this attribute to combinations

this is neessary, because without combinations - new attribute will not appear

Hey Vekia,

 

Sorry I didn't answer your question, I didn't realize it. I was trying to figure out how make this work.

I don't need combination, because it is attribute of the cloth, I just want to mark the state of the cloth ( good, excellent, etc).

Combinations will be good if I could sell different state of the same cloth...

But with your help, I'm now showing the attribute in the specifications of the product. ( see image attach )

 

 

 

 

 

I must now do the styling.

 

I saw in product.tpl, that this part is calling my custom attribute values :

 

<!-- product's features -->
    <ul id="idTab2" class="bullet">
    {foreach from=$features item=feature}
	    {if isset($feature.value)}
		    <li><span>{$feature.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</span> {$feature.value|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</li>
	    {/if}
    {/foreach}
    </ul>

 

Which is the good way to change the HTML layout, to respect the core of prestashop and at the same time to fill my style requirements, can i simple move the blocks in my template product.tpl?

 

Thanks for your help

And in the same line of question:

should the brand linked to the product show automatically too or do I have to call i variable now ?
