Hi,
I need to insert custom PHP code all over the product details page (Along with some Ajax). I cannot insert it into the Smarty template pages.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks
And this tells you how to call smarty variables into those {php} blocks:
{php}
// get assigned template var 'foo'
$myVar = $this->get_template_vars('foo');
// get all assigned template vars
$all_tpl_vars = $this->get_template_vars();
// take a look at them
print_r($all_tpl_vars);
{/php}

Curious why wouldn’t you create an addon to customize your product detail pages? There are ‘hooks’ for creating the content of a page, for the display of that info or you can completely overwrite the standard template? All your local changes would then be in
skins//customer/addons/
This allows you to separate your changes from the standard distribution so you won’t be spending huge amounts of time resolving conflicts when an upgrade is available. I’ve made a free addon for local customization available at [url]http://www.ez-ms.com/local.addon.zip[/url]. Review the README.txt file for information.
