Basic php question

[besheer]

Sorry for all the questions today but I've been awake for far too long and my searching skills are deteriorating quickly. I want to put the model number under the product name in the product listing page (in the same column). It's almost there, but instead of "model" I'm getting "TEXT_PRODUCT_MODEL." It's looking for the define in english.php but it's really in /includes/languages/english/template/product_info.php. How do I get it to look for it in the right file? Here's what I have so far:

$lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . '<br>' . TEXT_PRODUCT_MODEL . ': ' . $listing->fields['products_model'] . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>';

Also, anyone know how I can make the gap between product name and model number smaller?

Assuming that your code hasn't been distorted by the forum itself or your process for getting in here, then the single quotes that surround each instance of 'product_id' and 'product_name' need to be escaped to avoid php interpreting them as the beginning or end of a non-evaluated text string.

Escaped = deleted?

That's the way they appear in the default template. I haven't messed with those at all.

You're absolutely right, my apologies. It's been a long day for me too. Can you post the section of HTML that this code generates?

[besheer]

I know how that feels.

It looks like this in the Product Name column:

Comptech sport springs, RSX

TEXT_PRODUCT_MODEL: 110-150

The HTML looks like this"

<td class="productListing-data"><h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="http://www.tozka.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=162_22_30_33&amp;products_id=154">Comptech sport springs, RSX</a></h3><div class="listingDescription"><br>TEXT_PRODUCT_MODEL: 110-150</div></td>

"TEXT_PRODUCT_MODEL" should read "Part #" instead, that's all.

Thanks a lot for your help!

When you say that you want to put the model number under the product name in the product listing page, what do you mean by the product listing page? It's already there on the products_all page and the code needed to insert it into the product_info page is nowhere near as complex as the code that you have written. So I'm a little puzzled as to where the php that we are looking at is being inserted.

Having been able to make the changes that I thought you were trying to achieve in a test environment with absolutely no problem, I suspect that where you have inserted the new code, rather than the code itself, is the key to this.

Also, when I look at the code at your site, it suggests to me appears that you are using a template based on the default_template for v1.3+, but the code that you are inserting looks a bit less modern. Please could you confirm your version numbers and template basis.

I'm no longer puzzled by this, just not wholly convinced that it's the right place for it. So let me rephrase my question. and I apologise in advance if it seems like a dumb thing to ask, on which pages do you want the part number to appear as you described in your original post?

[besheer]

When you click on any category or subcategory that has products in it, that list that comes up before you go into the actual product info page. That's where I want to put it. There's a column for image, model number, product name, price, etc. I want to put the model number in the same cell with the product name and delete the whole model column. The first problem is that "Part number" is not coming up. Instead, I'm getting that TEXT_whatever part. Second problem is that when I turn off the model column from the admin, the model number disappears from both columns...mode and product name.

I'm running 1.3.0.1 and template_default as the base. That bit of code that I posted is in /templates/MY_TEMPLATE/templates/product_listing.php around line 120, a few lines under

case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME':

I can post a screenshot if it will help.

I am by no means a coder, but copied from your first post:

. 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id'])

. TEXT_PRODUCT_MODEL . ': ' .$listing->fields['products_model']

it appears that like 'products_id=' your TEXT_PRODUCT_MODEL. is missing the single quote and the equals sign

should it be . 'TEXT_PRODUCT_MODEL=' .

and then scrap the ': ' . that currently trails the . TEXT_PRODUCT_MODEL .

Again I am not a coder buit this did not seem to match the convention for the other entries.
