Display text on products in certain category only

[abcisme]

I have a category for clearance items (master_categories_id 284). I'd like to display the text "discontinued" on the product info page where the item is in the clearance category. Can anyone help me accomplish this?

Twitch Add Title to Product Based on Category Name

add this to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

<?php  
// bof Twitch Add Title to Product Based on Category Name
$find_the_category_name = zen_get_categories_name(zen_get_products_category_id((int)$_GET['products_id']), $_SESSION['languages_id']);

// Note: Your category name must exactly match the name used in the next line between the quotes.
if ($find_the_category_name == 'Discontinued') {

//echo $find_the_category_name;
echo '<span class="alert"><strong> This Product has been discontinued </strong></span>';

} else {

//do nothing or add your text here

}
// eof Twitch Add Title to Product Based on Category Name
?>

This should work nicely :)

Much simpler and far easier to maintain is to use the stylesheets to your advantage:

For an explanation of why (describing pages in general) see: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...dividual_Pages

Could delete the above as after rereading the desired action (adding text) it may not be as easy, but might still be possible.

I did it like this:

<?php if ($cPath == 284) { echo '<div class="productIcon disc">'.TITLE_TXT_CLEARANCE.'</div>'; }?>

Great to see it's working for you!

Hm, so that only works if I click on the product from the clearance category.. but a product in clearance may be listed in multiple categories. And if I click on it from a linked category, it doesn't display the "clearance" text. I need to specify the master_categories_id...

You can get the current categories_id with:
$current_category_id

This works:

<?php $clearlink = zen_product_in_category($_GET['products_id'], 284);
if ($clearlink == 1) { echo '<div class="productIcon disc">'.TITLE_TXT_CLEARANCE.'</div>'; }?>
