New PRODUCTS fields not showing
Hi
I am using zencar 1.9.3h. I am having trouble displaying my new fields using the module tpl_product_info_display.php.
To back up, first I added the new fields to my database. Then I modified the code so I could see these fields in the admin area to populate them (collect.php and preview.php). I also use EZpopulate so I made sure I could get information into these fields that way. All is working well.
Now that I actually have data in these fields, I want to display them and they are not showing up. Right now, I am just trying to add one of the fields. These fields exist in my PRODUCTS table. First I added the fields main_template_vars.php in the $sql set. (I followed the directions written by chris at linususer).
Then I edited tpl_product_info_display.php in my custom template directory. First I stuck in the command
<?php echo 'test' ?> to make sure I was in the correct place. I checked my store and I was. Now I tried all of the following to get it to echo a new field: <?php echo $products_designer ?> <?php echo $products->fields['designer'] ?> <?php echo $products_info->fields['products_designer'] ?>The last one is what the thread seemed to use. I read 12 pages of the "How to add new Properties to Products" but couldn't figure it out. A lot of them are old so I thought I'd ask for help.
Obviously I don't understand php. For example, I am not sure why they said to do $products_info....and not just use $products_designer as they do for predefined fields.
Thank you in advance. I hope I included enough information.
