Multiple "Detailed Descriptions"

Does anyone know if there was a mod made to show a different "Detailed Description" per membership levels?

I sell both retail and wholesale using the membership levels BUT I want different information in the Detailed Description for the Wholesale Membership Level that I do not want the Retail Side to see...

I was not able to find anything yet in these forums... can anyone assist me on this?

Thanks

If you just want to add a few notes, you could use an extra field for this, and add an if statement to your product.tpl file so that only a certain membership level would see that particular extra field.

Could use the short description as one of them as well....

The short description is already in use since it helps me display some information on the thumbnail page. I was looking into the idea of creating an "Extra Field" but could not figure out how the cart name them...

That would be the easiest way to accomplish what I want because then I could just add a {if $user_membership eq "Wholesale"} then display that "extra field" otherwise do not...

Any help on when you create an extra field on how to reference it??

Thanks Again

To show an extra field, use:

Code:

{$extra_fields[0].field_value}

The fields are numbered starting from 0

On the admin side, take the checkbox out of the "SHOW" column.

By placing the following code in product.tpl and creating 2 extra fields I was able to make this happen without a flaw. You have been extremly helpful with this topic... it is much appreciated.

For anyone else who may be interested this is what I added to product.tpl

Code:

{if $user_membership eq "Wholesale"}

<TR><TD colspan="2">

<FONT class="ProductDetailsTitle">Wholesale Details</FONT></TD></TR>

<TR><TD class="Line" height="1" colspan="2">[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</TD></TR>

<TR><TD colspan="2">

{$extra_fields[0].field_value}{$extra_fields[1].field_value}



</TD></TR>
