Place a link button on products in product-list page that can let me go to an external page

[rpaezg]

Hi friends,

I need your help,

I need to place a link button on each product in product-list page that can let me go to an external page. The link must be configurable in a field inside product configuration in backoffice page.

 

I've placed a button inside the box but I need you to help me with code and variables that can be necessary to create a new field or also using one of the short or long descriptions that already exist.

 

Previously using short and long descriptions fields I achieved to create a link button in product page, but  when I attempt to insert it on products list, only appears button text and it does not work as a link. If there is the possibility to enable a link button using short or long description in  products list could also serve. 

 

On the picture I show you what we need.

 

File to modify: product-list.tpl and other if necessary.

 

Thanks in advance!

If you want to use descriptions, you need to remove strip_tags from the product-list.tpl template. It might be the quickest way to achieve what you need

Thank you my friend!

 

With your help I could manage to resolve the detail, I had to have erased the last part of the line of code to work properly:

 

Original line Code:

{$product.description_short | strip_tags:'UTF-8' | truncate:360:'...'}

 

Edited line Code:

{$product.description_short}

 

Had 2 weeks trying to solve that, 1000 times thank you !!!

Hello,

 

I would like to change the color of the new button that I created through Product Description using the sentence: {$product->description}

 

The new button that has been generated is related to CSS item: ".btn-default" inside of "global.css". When I make some change, this are reflected in all buttons.

 

I wonder where I make the change to use a custom item CSS for example: ".btn-new" and thus to change the colors and features according to my needs without affecting the rest of the system buttons.

 

I have looked everywhere and I can not find where the chain {$product->description} is generated to make the required change.

 

Beforehand very grateful for your help.

Give it a class like you mentioned (btn-new), but make sure you turn off the html purifier, or it will be stripped out. THen, in global.css, just style it normally

Hello Nemo1,

 

Thanks for your answer,

 

The problem is that I can not find where the chain is created: {$product->description}. So I could then replace the class .btn-default by .btn-new class.

 

Thanks in advance!

You simply have to modify it in the back office, using the html editor fort the description
