I'm trying to show the short description for the recommend products and am working with the file /modules/Recommended_Products/recommends.tpl

Throwing {$product.descr} simply echoes the short description of the product the customer is looking at, not the recommends. So I'm wondering how I can call on the short description of each product recommendation.

Any ideas?

Did you tried this:

{$recommends[num].descr}

I just did, but nothing is returned -- just blank.

I am not sure that this is a good solution, but it was invented for 5 minutes.

Open file "include/func/func.product.php" and find next lines:

PHP Code:

$fields[] = "$sql_tbl[products].productid";
    $fields[] = "$sql_tbl[products].provider"; 


add after this text next line:

PHP Code:

$fields[] = "$sql_tbl[products].descr"; 


.... now you can use in the template /modules/Recommended_Products/recommends.tpl variable:

{$recommends[num].descr}

Awesome, that worked flawlessly.

Another question I had was along the same lines and probably requires a similar edit (I think.)

Would it be possible to add an 'add to cart' button into the Upselling/Related products module?

Add the following line for every products in the file "skin1/modules/Upselling_Products/related_products.tpl"

PHP Code:

<a href="cart.php?mode=add&productid={$product_links[cat_num].productid}&amount=1">Add to cart</a> 


Instead of text "Add to cart", you can use image or button.

Worked flawleslly.

How can you add a buy now button to 4.2.1 for this?
