Ideally, I think a solution should not affect the admin or db and just be added at runtime wherever the product name is called on the front end. Any way to do this?
Thanks again for any help. I'm pretty new to XCart with a fairly big project ahead (customised) and I hope it's going to be a fairly logical process once I get the hang of these damn tpl files  |
Ok I didn't check to see what is affected but that's not the way to go then. So you can either change the php to export to smarty new variable with this value (that way product array won't be affected, but you still have to change the templates to reflect the new variable) or as carpeperdiem posted - change the templates only, which I think you shoud do. Sorry to mislead you like this
