If it's the description, you can do it like that: <?php echo $this->row->product_description; ?> If it's a custom product field, you can do it like that: <?php echo $this->row->XXX; ?> where XXX is to be replaced by the column name of your custom field. Custom fields of the table "product" can be created via the menu Display>Custom fields with the Essential or Business editions of HikaShop.

I managed to do the operations you gave me in order to place product description below the picture, such as shown in the picture below. image missing https://s23.postimg.org/45khxednr/category_view.png However as expected in the product view I have the followig: image missing https://s23.postimg.org/95hy5cjaf/product_view.png So the question is, is it possible to create a certain custom field (with different text for each individual product) that will be displayed underneath the image in the category view and would not be displayed in the product view ?
