    Hi

    I have another question. I have a custom field (slug is “testfield”) that i want to insert just below the price on the tabbed product page (if there is a value for the article).

    All other custom fields can reside in the “additional information” tab as usual.

    How do i do that (i know that i have to modify the shortcodes.php in some way, but i am a beginner in php)?

    Best,

  • Hi Thomas,

    Actually you should not need to modify the shortcodes file in this case. If the custom field is already inputted for the product, you can add it to the product description directly. You may input the custom field with the slug, surrounded by brackets.

    In your case, try adding [testfield] to the product description.

    Hi

    his doesn’t work. I put [testfield] in my product description but on the tabbed page, o don’t see the value of the custom field. Instead i only see [testfield].

    But anyway, what i’m searching for is some php i can use to insert the testfield just below the price (if the custom field has a value) so above the product description tab.

    Hi Thomas,

    In the shortcodes.php, the tabbed layout may be found between line 1015 and 1165. Lines 1177 and 1178 are the Product name and product price on the tabbed layout. You would need to add your custom field after or within these lines, depending on what styling you are wishing to obtain. Thse lines of are only generating the HTML by printing the HTML and calling variables.

    To understand how the custom fields are getting called, you may look at how they are called within the tabs by looking at the lines between 1112 and 1124. These lines are creating a container strictly for custom fields, going through your database by firstly looking at your products and the custom fields, looking at if the custom fields were set to be displayed, then creating a container for each field.

    Also, remember to keep a backup of the file before modifying it, and also to change it through FTP rather than the dashboard.

    We hope this helps you out getting more familiar with PHP. ??

    Thanks a lot for you information.

    Regarding your second to last answer, like i said it is not possible to insert [testfield] in the product description.

    If this should work, this is maybe a bug?

    Hi Thomas,

    Can you make sure that “Convert Custom Fields” on the “Options” tab is set to “Yes”?
