Adding Additional Details to Product Cards

[levelup]

I'm attempting to update an old version (1.0.5) to the latest version and there are some custom buttons/details we need to add to the product card for the product listing page.

So, for example, we want to add a model number and manufacturer info to the cards. How would we add this info exactly? I'd hate to overwrite any core code.

I see the following snippet in "templates/default/includes/components/product_card.php":

Code: Select all

<h5 class="card-title"><a href="<?= $product->get('link') ?>"><?= $product->get('name') ?></a></h5>

How can I create something like "$product->get('model_number')"? Or, could I still use something like $listing['products_model'] here?

"templates/default/includes/components/product_card.php":

Copy that file to the override-template or whatever you might have as selected template.

Code: Select all

$product->get('link')

Says from the class "product" execute the function "get" on the key inside the "()"
Returning to product_card.php I see that it just uses the name of what it wants in the "get-function"

Code: Select all

$product->get('image')

and

Code: Select all

$product->get('name')

So I thought; Why not just try:

Code: Select all

<h6><?= $product->get('model') ?> </h6>

and it worked. I would expect it to work like that with any entries in the products and the products_description tables.
Manufacturers would be a little more complicated, as the data needed for the manufacturer is in the manufacturers table, but I think this should show the name of the manufacuter:

Code: Select all

	<h6><?= $product->get('brand')->getData('manufacturers_name')	?> </h6>

(Might throw error if no manufacturer is set)
