Display Model in Category Grid/list View

Hello

I am using Opencart Version 2.0.3.1 and the Journal 2.5.4 theme.

I want to display model number/reference on category grid and list view under product image and description.

I wondered if this is possible?

Thanks in advance

Anything is possible

Im not sure how advanced you are? but you would need to edit the catalog/controller/product/category.php file and look for the and insert
after the product_id variable assignment.

it can then be accessed in the category.tpl file as

$product['model'] anywhere after the $products foreach statement.

Hope that Helps

Thank you very much for your help

I will give this a try and report back.

I have made a VQMOD extension to do that. You can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/njh8ligmordw2 ... t.xml?dl=0.
No need to modify core files directly

Thank you to both of you

VQmod is great and it is the way to do it properly, but its also good to know how the code works

Viethemes: thank you very much. And the visitor (and I) can search "model" in the main search function, great.

Please make sure you are add code after

catalog/controller/product/category.php

$data['products'][] = array(
'product_id' => $result['product_id'],
'thumb' => $image,
'name' => $result['name'],
'model' => $result['model'],

catalog/view/theme/journal2/template/product/category.tpl

<div class="product-details">
<div class="caption">
<h4 class="name"><a href="<?php echo $product['href']; ?>"><?php echo $product['name']; ?></a></h4>
<h5 class="model">&nbsp;<?php echo $product['model']; ?></h5>
<p class="description"><?php echo $product['description']; ?></p>

Front End Error :
Notice: Undefined index: model in
catalog/view/theme/journal2/template/product/category.tpl on line 147

Try clear cache. If still doesn't work please contact theme developer. Should be easy for him.

Look at this little image:

and if you like, what you see, download this sectionwise built + so easy to handle OcMod:

Thanks to Viethemes, for the input!

To make it possibly work for (some) JOURNAL Files, in the OcMod Extension File,
find this (OC-2 Default Theme) OcMod Anchor Tag LINE , one of a few, in the Theme-Template
related lower Sections of the OcMod: and replace all those lines, as shown above, with:
EITHER this Line: (J.v.2.2.x) OR then, this Line: (J.v.2.5.x) depending on the Theme Version you use.
Whereby, the plain OcMod ANCHOR LINK TAG CODE, TO CHANGE, is:
<div class="description"><?php echo $product['description']; ?></div>
or:
<p class="description"><?php echo $product['description']; ?></p>
everything else is just part of the OcMod-Routine itself !

You can first crosscheck, by example in your ... theme ... /template/product/category.tpl, wich
one exists, probably either starting/ending with a <p ...>...</p> , or then a <div ...>...</div>
and if not, if at least some rather similar Line exists, then to be used as valid OcMod Anchor Tag Line,
by searching for: In addition, and depending of, if you want to have the MODEL Display before the Description
Display, change in ALL the sections, in the xxx.tpl file-related OcMod Sections:
from:
<add position="after">
to:
<add position="before">
and you could even add an OFFSET-Value, like
<add position="before" offset="2"> (2 written or empty! lines up from the 'anchor-tag-line')
<add position="after" offset="2"> (2 written or empty! lines down from the 'anchor-tag-line')
to move it up or down one or more lines, to look and match better.
Just be careful, to so not 'inserting' it into another routine, section, or somewhere, possibly active
only under certain conditions...!
Then, it should work! But you will find out, I'm sure !

And NEVER forget, if you work on VqMods or OcMods, EVERY empty (White-)SPACE / GAP
is 'handled' like/as a piece of CODE, a SEARCH Routine may never find something, if it suddently
contains anything different from what it's exactly looking for, from the beginning [ to the end ]]
<search><![CDATA[123456 654654 aabbbc qrtz]]></search>, and if you do it like this:
<search><![CDATA[ 123456 654654 aabbbc qrtz]]></search>, it can possibly never be found.
Basic Rule Number ONE!

By Nature of things, you could remove some xxx.tpl - related sections,
from <file ... > to </file> , in the OcMod, if you don't want to have the Model
Number visible on screen, where it exists by OcMod-Default !

More similar 'Functions' could be enabled, if one uses Modules, displaying other 'Selections'
of Products, but basically working the same way - by just adding one (adapted) Routine each
to the .../controller/... and the .../template/... Section of the OcMod, just to mention this.

Journal-untested, good Luck !
