"Special Offer" Tag
 

I'm trying to modify the products_list.tpl so that it will display information in a custom field.

For example, i have created a custom field called "SPECIAL_OFFER" and created a custom styled div that i would like to display the text from the custom field, like this:

The problem is i can't figure out the the right statements to:

A) Show the DIV only when there is something in that field
and
B) Show put the contents of that field into the DIV as shown above.

Many Thanks!

Carl

Carl,

This thread has all the code you need to do this:

The key is to use an if to determine if the extra field has content, if so, display the div.

Carl,

Did you assign a var and get the var to appear on the page? If you can get it to the page, then constraining it to "only if it exists" is simple.

What code did you use to get it to the page?

I couldn't get it to display on the page at all. I'm guessing i didnt assign the var correctly :(

I used the code from the one of the examples in the other thread and changed the fields etc. to match mine
