How can I add the product description in related products tpl? I have tried the following and nothing is coming from it:

PHP Code:

<div>{$product_links[num].descr|truncate:200:" ...":true}</div> 


I would appreciate anybody's suggestions or ideas. THX

In skin1/modules/Upselling_Products/related_products.tpl inside the foreach after

          <td><a href="product.php?productid={$p.productid}"{if $config.Upselling_Products.upselling_new_window eq 'Y'} target="_blank"{/if}>{$p.product|amp}</a></td>

add

<td>{$p.descr|truncate:200:"...":true}</td>

If you want this for upselling products the code to add will be

<td>$product_links[cat_num].descr|truncate:200:"...":true}</td>

See if that works for you

Sorry, but where are you getting $p and or [cat_num] in 4.2.1? The only variable in the related_products.tpl is $product_links[num] which I have already tried with no luck. Let me know. THX

[cflsystems]

there is no $product_links[num] in related_products.tpl (are you sure your version is 4.2.1?)
Here is related_products.tpl file

{if $product_links ne ""}
  {capture name=dialog}
    <table cellspacing="0" summary="{$lng.lbl_related_products|escape}">
      {foreach from=$product_links item=p}
        <tr>
          <td class="item-number">#{$p.productid}</td>
          <td><a href="product.php?productid={$p.productid}"{if $config.Upselling_Products.upselling_new_window eq 'Y'} target="_blank"{/if}>{$p.product|amp}</a></td>
        </tr>
      {/foreach}
    </table>
  {/capture}
  {include file="customer/dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_related_products content=$smarty.capture.dialog additional_class="uproducts"}
{/if}

Ok when I add that though nothing shows up for any products even thought hey have descriptions. Can you verify this on your end?

Thanks

It turns out not all fields are available for related products. You need to make changes to php files to make descr and/or fulldescr fields available for recommended products and then the code I posted earlier will work

[mrerotic]

cflsystems any ideas how I can do this? I would appreciate your input on this and thanks for your input thus far.
