Default Re: Parse smarty tags in extra fields

Well your site is cool. You are doing a great job.

I think the extra field could certainly be used to store the compatible products, maybe a comma-seperated list of product ids. What I still don't understand, is why the need for smarty in the field. (thats the part that I was going to try and re-think for you)

What I would do, is just use the field to store the data you need, and then work with that data in the templates or php. TBH, I rarely use extra fields. If this list needs to be the same on all product pages, a language variable would serve the same purpose right?
