Re: Parse smarty tags in extra fields
This is actually for the rebuild of our gadget site that is going live soon, so using the language variable in the extra field (which we mostly use for listing product features) would only be applied to some products and not globally across all products.
Basically I need to come up with a way to list what kind of devices Product X, Y and Z are compatible with, knowing that Product X may not be compatible with all the products that Product Y and Z are. The other thing I need to take into consideration is that the list of devices is constantly being updated as new models come out.
What happened before was that we hard coded list of text, but they got outdated because of the pace of technology and it was really cumbersome to maintain it across all the products.
So, I've envisioned this module in my mind that would maintain a list of devices (that was easily updateable) and then each device could be added to the compatibility list for each product.
