Adding field to product info.php

[itsgraham]

Hi

I am trying to add the product weight so it appears directly under the price on the product info page ( actually I am trying to show the postage but I am using a hack that changed the weight field in the db :) )

 

I know very little about php and am hitting my head against the wall, I am entering variations of <br>$weight after the $price but I either get nothing showing or the code itself.

 

help appreciated :)

You'll need to check the query to make sure it's pulling the products_weight from the database (I don't think it does on that page) and then echo something like $product_info['products_weight'] where you want the weight to show.

Thanks for the reply.

I think that is the problem, how do i make it do that ?

In product_info.php is a line that looks something like this:

select p.products_id, p.products_image, p.....

I don't have it in front of me so I'm shooting from the hip here - but find that and add in:

p.products_weight,

yes, i had seen that and added it to the list but all i get is the $product_info['products_weight'] showing on the page

Change it to this:

<?=$product_info['products_weight']?>
