Show product description on cart_details.tpl

retrtrtrytrutru · #1 03-16-2009, 02:01 AM

Hi,

I have been trying for hours now but I can't figure this out. I want to include the product description on the last page of the checkout process but it's simply not showing up.

File: customer\main\cart_details.tpl

In there I have the following code:

Code:

{$product.product|truncate:"30":"...":true}

I don't want to show $product.product as it's not desriptive enough. So, I thought I would simply replace it:

Code:

{$product.descr}

But of course it doesn't work. Anyone has any idea why this simply does not work? The code I am now using is from cart.tpl in which it works fine...

Thanks in advance!

Ps. This is from X-Cart v4.2.0, not the one from my signature.

It is in your customer\main\cart.tpl

Code:

        <td class="details">
                  <a href="product.php?productid={$product.productid}" class="product-title">{$product.product}</a>
                  <p class="descr">{$product.descr}</p>

UPD For the last page of the checkout it is
customer\main\cart_contents.tpl

Code:

 {foreach from=$products item=product name=products}

    <tr{interline class="subhead-row" index=$smarty.foreach.products.index total=$list_length}>
      <td>{$product.productcode}</td>
      <td>{$product.product|truncate:30:"...":true}</td>

      {if $cart.display_cart_products_tax_rates eq "Y"}
        <td class="cart-column-tax">

I am looking for the same fix. Did you get it resolved? If so, can you post the code you put in and where.

Thanks

Did anyone manage to fix this. I am looking for a solution on how to display the descr in the cart details.

I'm also using fast lane checkout.

Got it!

Find the file include/func/func.cart.php

In the file find the code:

Code:

 #
		# Set the fields filter to avoid storing too much redundant data
		# in the session
		#
		list($tmp_k, $tmp_v) = each($cart["products"]);

		foreach(array_keys($tmp_v) as $k)
			$product_keys[] = $k;

		unset($tmp_k, $tmp_v);
		reset($cart["products"]);

		$product_keys[] = "cartid";
		$product_keys[] = "product";
		$product_keys[] = "productcode";
		$product_keys[] = "product_options";

[/php]

Add this line to the product keys

Code:

$product_keys[] = "descr";

Then in customer/main/cart_details.tpl you can add the {$products[prod_num].descr|truncate:"30":"...":true} where required.

Interesting Monkeyhead. Do you know if this works for 4.2.2?

victor · #7 10-06-2009, 08:01 AM

I haven't found this answer either. Anyone else know how to fix this in 4.2.2?
