Short description for Product Recommends

I'm trying to show the short description for the recommend products and am working with the file /modules/Recommended_Products/recommends.tpl

Throwing {$product.descr} simply echoes the short description of the product the customer is looking at, not the recommends. So I'm wondering how I can call on the short description of each product recommendation.

Any ideas?

Re: Short description for Product Recommends

Did you tried this:

{$recommends[num].descr}

I just did, but nothing is returned -- just blank.

I am not sure that this is a good solution, but it was invented for 5 minutes.

Open file "include/func/func.product.php" and find next lines:

PHP Code:


		
			
$fields[] = "$sql_tbl[products].productid";
    $fields[] = "$sql_tbl[products].provider";

add after this text next line:

PHP Code:


		
			
$fields[] = "$sql_tbl[products].descr";

.... now you can use in the template /modules/Recommended_Products/recommends.tpl variable:

{$recommends[num].descr}

Awesome, that worked flawlessly.

Another question I had was along the same lines and probably requires a similar edit (I think.)

Would it be possible to add an 'add to cart' button into the Upselling/Related products module?

Instead of text "Add to cart", you can use image or button.

How can you add a buy now button to 4.2.1 for this?
