Default Extra product fields
Hi All,
I have added an extra product field to the database.
I would like to display that on my product page and my checkout page, but how do I do this? How do I reference those varibles in smarty?

Be aware that they changed the way extra fields work in 4.x. Not even close to 3.x. So if you make use of them in 3.x you'll have to change your code again in 4.x.

They are in a new table called Extra fields and are no longer called out by product.param00, product.param01 etc.

and are harder to use since they are no longer fields of the "$product". So to use them you have to get them out of the database as needed.

Why couldn't they have just left them alone? It worked great the way it was pre-4.x
