It is not possible to copy/past code in views directly in a module, the context is completely different. After that, I don't know where you put your code so it is difficult to help you. A module could be call in the product page but the module should read the product id directly in the url. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
