Display custom item fields in product display ??

Hi,

i would like to know to what corresponds "Display custom item fields" in System > Configuration > Display > Default parameters for products.
how to use it ? i mean where will it be displayed ? on "detailed product page" ?

thx.

Hi Alain,

As it's said in the documentation (that you can display by clicking in the "Help" button in the configuration page):

Display custom item fields : Show custom fields in the product listing.

I hope it's clear enought, do not hesitate to ask if you any other questions

Sorry Eliot to look like an idiot, but what are the custom fields in this case ? because i checked in custom fields... on product table and in fact i've seen nothing that could fit my need....

i need for each variant to display close to the price (so on right part side of detailed product page) a small text what deals with what the license(so the new price) is about.
if standard license => text 1 close to price
if extended license => text 2 close to price

those 2 things have nothing in common with the product description, and therefore can not be written in product description....
it's relative only to product license type/price.

is it clearer ?

If you want to have different text for different variants next to the price, you can follow the instructions of the section 'I sell packed products, how can I change "each" text in the product page ?' of the FAQ:

You will need a custom field of the table "product".

Hi Nicolas,

before to write post i tried the custom field on Product page...in fact i chose custom text, but only text "Specifications" appeared and not my custom field
even if with "published" "front end" enabled.

now i'm going to read the link you sent me and i will let you know the result.
thx

Custom text only allows you to display text in the form. That's not the type you want to use.
You should use "text".

Hi Nicolas,

so i tried and unfortunately as i wrote before, custom fields on frond end are not displayed
look at the screenshot in attachment. i did what was written in FAQ link you sent me.
I see only "specifications"....but nothing below as it should be.



as you can see on screenshot below (htmlcode) the table whre specifications should be written is empty.

Ok Nicolas,

after checking everything i discovered where was my mistake.
Now everything works well.

thx.
