Text Attribute comments

[tsrplatelayer]

I am feeling particularly dense
I want the text attribute comment to be after the attribute not before. I can see a variable $options_comment_position used in tpl_modules_attributes.php that can take the value 0 or 1 as a flag to indicate this.

I cannot see in Admin where to set this flag.

Please can someone put an old dog out of his misery.

Edit your stylesheet.css Find it there or add this declaration..

.attributesComments {
float: right;
}

really - I got the impression from the code that an entry in the database is used.

<?php
  if ($options_comment[$i] != '' and $options_comment_position[$i] == '0') {
?>
<h3 class="attributesComments"><?php echo $options_comment[$i]; ?></h3>
<?php
  }
?>

<div class="attribsOptions">
<h4 class="optionName back"><?php echo $options_name[$i]; ?></h4>
<div class="back"><?php echo "\n" . $options_menu[$i]; ?></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>

<?php if ($options_comment[$i] != '' and $options_comment_position[$i] == '1') { ?>
    <div class="ProductInfoComments"><?php echo $options_comment[$i]; ?></div>
<?php } ?>

While the code might imply that there's a database entry ... there isn't!

ah - yes - I see in attributes.php it has

$options_comment_position[] = ($products_options_names->fields['products_options_comment_position'] == '1' ? '1' : '0');

which always sets to 0

Perhaps somthing is planned - or was and didnt materialise.

Ah well - I feel a little override code coming on.

At least I wasnt just loosing my marbles

That apparently was something left unfinished long ago. The db table field is there, ready to use.
If you want all the comments below the inputs, you can switch the 1 and 0 in these statements

if ($options_comment[$i] != '' and $options_comment_position[$i] == '0') {

if ($options_comment[$i] != '' and $options_comment_position[$i] == '1') {

Exactly what I had in mind

Thanks all
