How do I add a custom field to my Product Listing Page?

[rbarbour]

I added a custom product field to a product. It all works fine, shows up on product listing page and is search-able.

Here is my question, i want to add the custom field under the image, just like how the description is under the name.

Anyone know how to go about it?

[rbarbour]

OK - I need some expert help. I managed to get my custom product fields to appear kinda the way I want but I can't seem to arrange the order they are appearing on the Product Listing. Actually I can't get them to appear on the Product Listing Page only on the Advanced Search Results Page.

right now order is
PRICE, CUSTOM FEILD1, CUSTOM FEILD2, CUSTOM FEILD3, CUSTOM FEILD4,

I just want to move PRICE to the end column but can't figure it out.


Next question is what files do I need to edit to have my Product Listing Page appear like my Advanced Search Result page.

You can see what I have do with the ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULTS product listing by clicking here.

Just wanna thank everyone for their input.

putting the model/part# under the image is now complete, i figured it out.

What was the solution that you discovered worked for you for this problem?

[rbarbour]

getting the CUSTOM_FIELD under the image was actually easy and I know nothing but basic hotmail.

so all i did is change the following:

$lc_text = '<div class="img_box"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($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']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing->fields['products_image'], $listing->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_HEIGHT, 'class="listingProductImage"') . '</a></div>';

to this:

$lc_text = '<div class="img_box"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($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']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing->fields['products_image'], $listing->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_HEIGHT, 'class="listingProductImage"') . '</a></div>' . $listing->fields['products_custom_field'];

Thanks for the details on how to do this ... it's always a great help to others ...

still not done yet.

I am trying to add a link to a CUSTOM_FIELD

I added right below name/description a custom field for the products category. You can see by using the link above.

I cant figure out how to link to the products category. This is where I am at:

'<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 ? $_GET['cPath'] : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&category_id=' . $listing->fields['category_id_name']) . '">' . ' ' . '</a>';

[rbarbour]

I figured that one out.

I changed:

'<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 ? $_GET['cPath'] : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&category_id=' . $listing->fields['category_id_name']) . '">' . ' ' . '</a>';

to this:

'<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=' . $listing->fields['master_categories_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_CUSTOM_FIELD'] . '</a>';

now here is a question?

How do I use the categories name instead of using a CUSTOM_FIELD that hold just that?

Any suggestions?

[Ajeh]

If you want to pull the categories_name ... you have to decide do you want to pull the name of the current categories_id categories_name or the master_categories_id categories_name ...

The difference is ...

In a Product Listing from the Categories navigation, there is a:
$current_category_id

variable for the categories_id ...

But, in a search, there isn't a $current_category_id so you would need to use the $master_categories_id ...

The function is in the functions_lookups.php file:

function zen_get_category_name($category_id, $fn_language_id) {

You might need to tweak the code a bit based on whether or not the $current_category_id exists and if not then you need to use the $master_categories_id ...

Thanks Ajeh for all you help.

product_listing.php, located in /public_html/includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE

is what i am editing, but the changes are only affecting my advanced_search_result page and not the actual product_listing page. What am i doing wrong?
