Hi there,

Is it possible in some way to change the layout type "Image and Title" and add a small description of the product on the products listing? Title and image are not enough info for our customers, because most of the products in a group looks the same, but have different specs.

Cheers,
Remco

Hi,

Sure. That's quite easy. Edit the file product / listing_img_title.php via the menu Display>Views and add such code where you want to display it:
<?php echo $this->row->product_description; ?>

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for replying, but this is not what I'm trying to achieve. The description for the products is way to big to be shown on products listings. I want to have one line of text what can be filled differently for every article and showed at the products listing: Like a "short description".
Is that possible?

Cheers

Hi,

Sure. Then, create a custom field of the table "product" via the menu Display>Custom fields so that you can add that line of text in that custom field when you edit your products.
The you can use similar code in the same view file:
<?php echo $this->row->XXX; ?>
where XXX is the column name of your custom field.

Thanks Nicolas,

works great!!
