Product listing more info link

[121webconsultancy]

Hi

Trying to keep things to a clean minimum layout, in admin > config > product listing I have turned off 'Display Product Price/Add to Cart' so that I just have a product title and short description on the product listing page. i.e. www.prestigeringcompany.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4_10

My query is: how do I now go about adding a 'more info' link to the end of the short description text to link to the individual product detail page?

Many thanks,

Steve

/includes/modules/your_template/product_listing.php will have the code for this. You can prune down and relocate some of the code from the case: 'price' block to the case:'name' block.

Alternately, you might just replicate the title link which goes to the same place, and make its content "...more info" instead of the product name.

Many thanks for your response Glen. After some time I eventually achieved my goal.

For anybody wishing to do the same... i.e. add a 'more info' link to the end of the short description text in the product listing... Find this code around line 141 of product_listing.php :

<div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listi ng->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>';
}

And change it to this:

<div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listi ng->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id']) > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['cPath']) : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">more info</a></div>';
}

Thanks for sharing the complete solution!

This is great, but how would one make the "more info" link appear only when the description is truncated, in other words, not appear when there is no additional info to go see? Obviously, it needs to have an 'if' statement, but I don't know the correct way to do it.

By the way, if someone wants the more info link to be identical to the one that shows up when a product has attributes, change the following snippet of code from what 121webconsultancy has in his post.

Change:

$listing->fields['products_id']) . '">more info</a></div>'

To:

$listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . MORE_INFO_TEXT . '</a></div>'

Or you can create an entirely new define statement in english.php and change MORE_INFO_TEXT to that.

Never mind. I figured it out for myself. If anyone wants to know how to do it, I've posted the instructions at http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...664#post675664
