hello,

how to show the value of a custom field in the product details page?

I guess I have to modify (overide) the file default.php in /components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl

but how? The name of my custom field is prix_de_vente

many thanks for your help!

I don't think that you need anything else.

If you are using the default Virtuemart layouts normally you should get it.
Also try to enter some layout positions (e.g. ontop)

hello balai,

I tried to enter a layout position "ontop" but it doesn't seem to run.

I assume you've "attached" this custom field to your product?

I am not sure I understand what you mean with "attached".

I created an new custom file.

and then go to the products and add that custom field... on the (surprisingly named

) custom field tab

I already did that before but it doesn't work.

I gues that's the problem. And I don't know what I have to change in the php code to show this value.

compare the std template to what you have

I was in it. That's my problem. I don't know how to change the code.

If you want I can give you an access to my website. Maybe you'll find the problem. It's just a test website
