You should modify your xcartdir/smarty.php file. Change the line that reads

$smarty->debug_tpl="file:debug_templates.tpl";

to read

$smarty->debug_tpl="file:debug.tpl";

Now launch your store in webmaster mode...open a new customer window and browse to a product category where the options should be displaying. In the debug window you will see a full list of all assigned PHP variables and their values.

In my PHP code, I used the numeric index [4] because I didn't see an associative index containing my options as a string (which needs to be parsed by the func_parse_options() function). Look for an index in the $products[i][product_options] array that contains your options as such and replace the index [4] with whatever that index turns out to be. This might fix things for you.

The original product options code was designed to work with only a single product and therefore the old code produces a $product_options array which only holds options for the specific product being viewed on the detail page. Since our new script must keep track of options for more than one product, I've simply extended the $products array which is already generated by x-cart, to include product_options with each product. So my code essentially loops through the $products array, and creates a sub array in each product called "product_options".

Oh...and your empty text field showing up, means that the code is nearly working...it just can't find the parsed options. The options code is designed to default to an empty text field if you haven't specified any options (such as blue\n,yellow\n,red\n,etc.) when setting up your options for that product in the admin interface. So it seems you are on the right track. I think if you fix that array index to point to a valid index, it should work for you. Let me know if you have any luck.
