Default Re: Adding/Modifying Fields in the Main Product Table

2) include/product_modify.php
Look for...
Code:
# Update product data
Within...
Code:
$query_data = array( ... );
Along similar lines add...
Code:
"artist" => $artist,
3) skin1/main/product_details.tpl
Add this code in a suitable place...
Code:
<tr> {if $geid ne ''}<td width="15" class="TableSubHead"><input type="checkbox" value="Y" name="fields[artist]" /></td>{/if} <td class="FormButton" nowrap="nowrap">Artist</td> <td class="ProductDetails"><input type="text" name="artist" size="18" value="{if $product.productid eq ""}{else}{$product.artist}{/if}" /></td> </tr>
Or for predefined options...
Code:
<tr> {if $geid ne ''}<td width="15" class="TableSubHead"><input type="checkbox" value="Y" name="fields[artist]" /></td>{/if} <td class="FormButton" nowrap="nowrap">Artist</td> <td class="ProductDetails"> <select name="artist"> <option value=""{if $product.artist eq ""} selected{/if}>None</option> <option value="Van Gogh"{if $product.artist eq "Van Gogh"} selected{/if}>Van Gogh</option> <option value="Picasso"{if $product.artist eq "Picasso"} selected{/if}>Picasso</option> </select> </td> </tr>
That's it!
To use the field on your product page, (skin1/customer/main/product.tpl), use this code...
Code:
{$product.artist}
To use the field on your products page, (skin1/customer/main/products.tpl or products_t.tpl), use this code...
Code:
{$products[product].artist}
v4.4.x use this code
Code:
{$product.artist}
I used this to create a custom Image Alt Tag for product images instead of it defaulting to the product name.

Thank you Phil! This may be an old post but it's a GREAT one!!
