Not sure if I'm going mad....

I'm trying to add a nice easy Product Short description to common_files/customer/simple_products_list.tpl template which appears on the products_t template (i.e. the associated products tables under the individual product details).

I can't get it to appear?! I know its a Monday but what am I missing...??

Code I am using is below and just results in an empty div...

 <a href="product.php?productid={$product.productid}" class="descr"><div class="descr">{$product.descr|amp}</div></a>  

XC4.6.1

Thanks
Shaz

are you sure descr exists in the product array? The simple list does not have all the product info to begin with

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your response. The debugging console shows it is... I've tried a few other arrays also..

{$product} Array (72)

descr => "<div>rggrbw pa..."
fulldescr => "<div><strong>etbbet..."

Still just returns nothing....

div inside link may throw a validation error.

customer/simple_products_list.tpl is called from other areas like modules/Recommends/recommends.tpl (Upselling Links). It has its own $product called from within its own foreach loop. This is a separate $product from the one on the product details page. Most likely descr is not in the simple list and would have to be added through a customization.

Thanks Cherie, we ended up pulling the product name instead of the sdescr.

Cheers for your input
