Pre installed Product Descriptions

[MartynG]

Has anyone any idea how I can edit Product Descriptions to include a 'standard' paragraph in each new product added?

I want to put a footer to each Product Description that includes delivery info, etc and whilst I know I can cut and paste it each time there are other users of the store that forget to add this extra info.

Is there something I've missed in earlier posts or Add-Ons that will allow me to do this and if not where can I alter the code?

You could add the info to includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

Thanks for the reply. I assume I need to enter something in Product Description part of tpl_product_info_display.php but everything I try messes up the programme. My php skills just aren't up to the task

<!--bof Product description -->

<?php if ($products_description != '') { ?>

<div id="productDescription" class="productGeneral biggerText"><?php echo stripslashes($products_description); ?></div>

<?php } ?>

<!--eof Product description -->

Try it like this:

<!--bof Product description -->
<?php if ($products_description != '') { ?>
<div id="productDescription" class="productGeneral biggerText"><?php echo stripslashes($products_description); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
Your additional information here.
<!--eof Product description -->

This would work better.

<!--bof Product description -->
<?php if ($products_description != '') { ?>
<div id="productDescription" class="productGeneral biggerText"><?php echo stripslashes($products_description); ?></div>

<br /><br />
<div id="standardProductFooter"> your info here </div>

<?php } ?>
<!--eof Product description -->

Putting it before the closing PHP tag makes sure it is included as part of the Product Description; showing just after the description but before pricing. Styling your footer text within its own DIV means you can easily adjust styling to your needs from within the main CSS file.

Many, many thanks to all of you. That works great! I will save me so much time instead having to go back and check every new product for correct information...

Merry Christmas and a Great New Year to everyone

For a single consistent block of text, this technique works well, but if you have multiple blocks of text with product dependencies, you might want to look at my Boilerplate Text Addition help instructions here:
