sitemap.php customization
 

As it is now, it just lists the product names. But I would like to add the short description (products:descr) to the listing as well.

I found the fuction page of the sitemap module (modules/sitemap/func.php) and was able to swap out line 334:

$select[] = "$sql_tbl[products].product AS name";

to $select[] = "$sql_tbl[products].descr AS name";

which did substitute the description for the name in the sitemap. But I would like both the name of the product and the description of the product in the sitemap, and I don't know enough about how this works to get them to both show up in the sitemap link.

I tried changing the skin/common_files/modules/item_products.tpl along with the func.php file, but I'm not grasping how to do this.

I want, I think, something like this in the item_products.tpl:

{foreach from=$items item="item" key="num"}
<li><a href="{$item.url}" title="{$item.name|escape}">{$item.name|amp} - {$item.descr|amp}</a></li>
{/foreach}

so it would look like this <link>54321A - Moth wing scales</link>

I need some guidance on what I need to modify to get that.

$select[] = "$sql_tbl[products].product AS name"; // keep the line
$select[] = "$sql_tbl[products].descr AS description"; // add this

then in the template refer to it as $item.decsription

Thanks, found the problem, edited the wrong tpl. I wanted to edit the item_catagories_recurs.tpl, not the item_products.tpl.

Works great.
