Can the Product Description field contain an include text file.

Hi,

I am developing a site, which will have many thousands of products, My delema is that a third of the items have identicle product_description field, is it possible to make the description field include the text from a text file as its description.

This will hopefully minimize the databse size, and also make it easier to update the description field if need be.

Hope someone can help

I don't know if you can include PHP in the description, but you might look at this:

Thankyou, that looks pretty straight forward. Think I will be giving that a go, as should do exactly what i want, and will be quicker that includes as well.

Thank you :smile:
