Is it possible to add custom field to a product and display it in FeaturedProducts?

[kijy]

Hi everyone!, i'd like to make a FeaturedProduct module that display a lot of information, not just the title and description. Does somebody know how to display any custom field to the product's description? I already know how to make the predefine fields to apprear, but i'm blocking on this one.

 

 

thx already!

hello

you mean that you added some fields to:

- database

- object class

 

and now want to display them on product listings?

[kijy]

I meant that i put some new custom field in the feature tab, and i was looking for a way to call it in a .tpl without having to register the new fields in product.php.

Is it even possible?

[vekia]

it is but only with foreach loop on features variable, where you will have to check ID of feature to display only selected feature.

 

{foreach from=$features item=feature}
{if $deature.id_feature==5}
this is my feature with id 5
{$feature.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}
{$feature.value|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}
{/if}
{/foreach}

[kijy]

Ok, and where can i check/add my new features id?

[vekia]

id of the feature you can find in your back office "catalog" > "product features" 

[kijy]

Thx so much!

And last but not least, the part of code that you gave me earlier, do i put it right into the .tpl where i want it to appaer? cause that I've done, and nothing showd up..

[vekia]

it will work only in product.tpl file

have you cleared cache of the shop?

does the product contains the feature you used (id) ?

[kijy]

Oh. that explain why it's not working that well.. (cache cleard and my product does has the feature)

I put it in product-list.tpl. So i guess i have to put it down in product.tpl then call it in product-list?

 

ps: I put it there cause that's where i think that featuredproducts module pick up its data; that where i could make it shows the full description of the product, but correctme if i'm wrong!

omg i missed fact that you want to display features in featured products not on product page

[vekia]

{if isset($product.features)}

<div class="ProductFeatures">

{foreach from=$product.features item=feature}

{if $feature.id_feature==3}

{$feature.name}: <span>{$feature.value}</span>

{/if}

{/foreach}

</div>

{/if}

 

[kijy]

Arf, I put these line in my Product-list.tpl and nothing happen yet.. (All my caches are still turned off)

You talk about controller earlier, What should i do with it? (i guess U talk about ProductController.php) 

[vekia]

no it was my mistake, it is not necessary to alter controllers

 

here is the proper code

{if isset($product.features)}
    <div class="ProductFeatures">
            {foreach from=$product.features item=feature}
               {if $feature.id_feature==5}
                    {$feature.name}: <span>{$feature.value}</span>
               {/if}
            {/foreach}
    </div>
{/if} 

effect
