[Resolved] Simplified all-in-one product listing

[Using Calguy1000's e-commerce modules]
I have a client with a total of seven products/services which fall under four hierarchy entries (single level). They would like everything to to be on one page, with the markup ending up something like:
Code: Select all
<h3>hierarchy name 1</h3>
<dl>
<dt><a href=product detail link>Product name 1</a></dt>
<dd>product summary 1</dd>
<dt><a href=product detail link>Product name 2</a></dt>
<dd>product summary 2</dd>
</dl>
<h3>hierarchy name 2</h3>
etc...
So far I've added a summary field to the products, and made a new hierarchy report template formatted as h3's and most other content removed. I figure that either there should be a call there to a product list template or just the smarty code for that template inserted directly, but I don't know what's necessary.
(note that all services are unpriced, as they're by quotation)
Can anyone point the way, or show me an example?

I have achieved what i'm after, but by using a terrible kludge because i can't figure the syntax for directly displaying the value of a specific custom field 'Product_Summary' : {$entry->???}
(Or as described in the template comments 'the summary template has access to custom fields via the $entry->fields hash')
In the meantime i've pinched code from the detail template which enumerates all custom fields and bunged an {if} into it. Ugh!

Maybe this can help...
And this...
You may try {$entry->fields|print_r} or {$entry->fields|print_r} to see what is available on that particular template.

gives me
[fields] => Array ( [Product_Summary] => stdClass Object ( [id] => 1 [name] => Product_Summary [prompt] => Product Summary [type] => textarea [options] => Array ( [] => ) [max_length] => 255 [value] => An online, self-paced version of our starting a business course. [fielddef_id] => 1 ) )
{$entry->Product_Summary.value} ?

Try
Code: Select all
{$entry->fields.Product_Summary->value}

$entry is an object. You access its elements with ->
[fields] => Array
means that 'fields' is an array. you access its elements with a . (or you could use a foreach)
i.e: {$entry->fields.SOMETHING}
[Product_Summary] => stdClass Object
means that Product_Summary is an object, you access its members/methods with a ->
i.e: Product_Summary->SOMETHING}
following that is a list of the members of Product_Summary which may in themselves be strings, integers, arrays, objects, etc. 'value' is a string, member of the Product_Summary object. so it doesn't need further digging.
Putting it all together:
{$entry->fields.Product_Summary->value} should give you what you want.
