Promo Text for products in 1 category only or products i select only
 

i would like to have certain products display a line of text when they are on promotion such as "Free accessory you buy this item" -
Is there some built in functionality that allows me to turn on "promo text" for specific products only ?

Alternatively, I'm looking at the file template product_t.tpl and i'd like to mimic the free shipping functionality by adding this code

{if $product.free_accessory eq "Y"}
<div><span class="label label-success">{$lng.lbl_free_accessory|upper}</span></div>
{/if}

I've added the language label but now i need to know how to add the boolean field to check if free_accessory = 1 or 0. I assume i need to

1. add a new DB field
2. add a checkbox in add/edit template

Can someone please give me some guidance on how best to accomplish this.



Thank you

Try the 'Extra Fields' module perhaps?
This way you can customize the message for each applicable product?
