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}

Hi Phil,

I can add a custom field successfully.
When i try to import cvs database...
I got error messages:
Quote:
An error occurred during the verification of the CSV file. Please check your CSV file and fix the problem, then try again.

Date: 01-Oct-2008 10:19:14
Launched by: master

Error on line 2: Column 'BIN_LOCATION' is not supposed to be in the section 'PRODUCTS' (PRODUCTS):
!PRODUCTID;!PRODUCTCODE;!BIN_LOCATION

if that's not supposed to be in the section 'PRODUCTS', which section should I use? THANKS

Thank you PhilJ. People are affraid X-Cart because there are no information how to change the code. If QT will take in consideration to write a developer manual, it will be much easier for everyone to go on their own.

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

Hello!
I'm new with x-cart.
I have try to add one field fallowing the steps you've writen. The data is displayed well but no modification to the data is reported to DataBase. What's wrong ?

To DataBase:
ALTER TABLE `xcart_products` ADD `descrauteurs` TEXT DEFAULT NULL;

in product_modify.php, i added: "descrauteurs" => $descrauteurs at the wright place
and in product_details.tpl, i added:
<tr>
{if $geid ne ''}<td width="15" class="TableSubHead"><input type="checkbox" value="Y" name="fields[descrauteurs]" /></td>{/if}
<td class="FormButton" nowrap="nowrap">{$lng.lbl_descrauteurs}* :</td>
<td class="ProductDetails">
{include file="main/textarea.tpl" name="descrauteurs" cols=45 rows=12 class="InputWidth" data=$product.descrauteurs width="80%" btn_rows=4}
</td>
</tr>

What's the problem ????
Tanks for your help.
