Using include in product description

[jeking]

Ain't that the truth!! I don't think I should be working on upgrading to 1.3.7 right now either.

The product description that you enter into the database can include HTML but not PHP. However, you could always modify tpl_product_info_display.php (perhaps conditionally on product id if that's what you need) to do an inclusion. What exactly are you trying to do?

Scott,

Can you please tell the php code for modifying the tpl_product_info_display.php,
conditionally on a product ID.

Here is what I want to accomplish:

Edit the tpl_product_info_display.php to call a specific html file, based on the product ID.
Example:

 If product ID 1 then ?php include("/includes/folder1/product_description_1.html"); ?>
else, continue checking 

This is a workaround for php include not being allowed in product description.

Best,
Vova

Linda,

Is the below code right for 1.3.7? I think I figured out why my readonly attributes where displaying when empty. I didn't carry over the mod when I upgraded. When I install it new, I'm getting a parse error.

The constant is the:
PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_READONLY

I forget off hand the code in 1.2.7 but it is similar ...

In the first location I change the code to:

                  // Read Only - just for display purposes
                  if ($products_options_names->fields['products_options_type'] == PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_READONLY) {
                    //            $tmp_html .= '<input type="hidden" name ="id[' . $products_options_names->fields['products_options_id'] . ']"' . '" value="' . stripslashes($products_options->fields['products_options_values_name']) . ' SELECTED' . '" />  ' . $products_options->fields['products_options_values_name'];
                    if (empty($products_options_details)) {
                      $tmp_html = '';
                    } else {
                      $tmp_html .= $products_options_details . '<br />';
                    }
                  } else {
                    $zv_display_select_option ++;
                  } 

In the next location I change the code:

                  // READONLY
                  case ($products_options_names->fields['products_options_type'] == PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_READONLY):
                  if (empty($tmp_html)) {
                  } else {
                  $options_name[] = $products_options_names->fields['products_options_name'];
                  $options_menu[] = $tmp_html . "\n";
                  $options_comment[] = $products_options_names->fields['products_options_comment'];
                  $options_comment_position[] = ($products_options_names->fields['products_options_comment_position'] == '1' ? '1' : '0');
                  }
                  break;
