Calling a Product Price...

Hello,

We use HTML code in our category descriptions. How would I call a particular product's price and have it displayed in this category description box somewhere? I could statically paste it there, but if the price is change on the product it won't reflect in the category description code.

It seems as though I need to somehow capture the information. I've noticed that only HTML code works in this category description box too.

Thanks

Well, this must not be possible since nobody's replied.

Re: Calling a Product Price...

It is possible. First, in /skin1/customer/main/products.tpl, you have to modify

Quote:

$products[product].descr|truncate:300:"...":true

like this:

Quote:

{eval var=$products[product].descr|truncate:300:"...":true}

Than, you woud call it in the short description like this:

Quote:

{$products[product].price|string_format:"%.2f"}

and in full description like this:

Quote:

{$product.price|string_format:"%.2f"}

In /skin1/customer/main/product.tpl, you would use:

Quote:

{if $product.fulldescr ne ""}{eval var=$product.fulldescr}{else}{eval var=$product.descr}{/if}

I hope this helps.
