I'd like to use Joomla's Content } Fields in my products to help show prefined text content against selected products.

I can see (example)

{field 1} in the article editor but its not being pulled through to the front end short/long description or specifications content.

Am I missing a trick?
Chris

Hi there Olivier.

Thanks for your response, which I've given a try.I've applied the additional code to the lview_sdesk.php override:

<?php
// No direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
use Joomla\CMS\HTML\HTMLHelper;
HTMLHelper::_('content.prepare', $this->product->product_short_desc);
?>

<?php if($this->params->get('item_show_sdesc', 1)): ?>
<div class="product-sdesc">
<?php echo $this->product->product_short_desc; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Sadly the fields were not pulling through.

I did some research and found the following which might (or might not) be correct!

"The reason your custom fields aren't showing up is because content.prepare processes the text, but it doesn't automatically "inject" the fields unless the Fields Plugin is specifically told to do so.

In Joomla, custom fields assigned to an article are stored in a separate property (usually $item->jcfields).

Because you are working within a J2Store view, the $this->product object might contain the article ID, but it doesn't always load the fields automatically for performance reasons.

Here is the most reliable way to display those fields in Joomla 5/6:

Updated Code with Fields Support

<?php
/**
* @package J2Store
* @copyright Copyright (c)2014-17 Ramesh Elamathi / J2Store.org
* @license GNU GPL v3 or later
*
* Bootstrap 5 layout of product detail
*/
// No direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
use Joomla\CMS\HTML\HTMLHelper;
HTMLHelper::_('content.prepare', $this->product->product_short_desc);
?>

<?php if($this->params->get('item_show_sdesc', 1)): ?>
<div class="product-sdesc">
<?php echo $this->product->product_short_desc; ?>
<?php echo HTMLHelper::_('content.prepare', $this->product->product_short_desc);?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

But unfortunately, even this doesn't work!

Suggestions welcome!
Chris

Hi Olivier,

I recognise you will have other product priorities but I wonder if you've had opportunity to dig further into this one?

Forgive me Olivier.

I tried adding this to ldesc and sdesc.php but nothing is showing from a fields pov.

im probably adding to the wrong file(s)?

can you advise?

Aha!

I'll definitely give that one a try. I must make a list of all of these apps and extensions!
