[CONTRIBUTION] Boilerplate text in product descriptions

[swguy]

Are you typing the same phrases again and again in your product descriptions? You can streamline this process and make it easier to change these strings down the road if you use my Boilerplate mod. It's a free download from

http://www.thatsoftw...oilerplate.html

with help and instructions.

Now this will come in handy, I've been spending ages trying to perfect my wording on a paragraph that goes on about 10 different products because I don't want to have to go back and change them all. This will definitely help!

[swguy]

Glad you like it! I may do something similar for CMS pages - not quite sure yet.

[hawaii350]

Installed it, just not quite sure where the line of code should go in the product.php file. I tried both before and after the first bracket

    public    function __construct($id_product = NULL, $full = false, $id_lang = NULL)
Boilerplate::doBoilerPlate($this, $id_lang); 
    {
    
        parent::__construct($id_product, $id_lang);
        if ($full AND $this->id)
        {
            $this->manufacturer_name = Manufacturer::getNameById(intval($this->id_manufacturer));
            $this->supplier_name = Supplier::getNameById(intval($this->id_supplier));
            $tax = new Tax(intval($this->id_tax), intval($id_lang));
            $this->tax_name = $tax->name;
            $this->tax_rate = floatval($tax->rate);
            $this->new = $this->isNew();
        }
        $this->category = Category::getLinkRewrite(intval($this->id_category_default), intval($id_lang));
        $this->tags = Tag::getProductTags($this->id);
    }

Thanks,
Hawaii350

End of function before last bracket. Right after the call to getProductTags.

No luck :( just get a blank page. Copied files over to root of prestashop. Installed module. Modified en.php. Added line of code to product.php

http://ifixithawaii....p?id_product=17

running 1.2.4

Thanks again for the help

[hawaii350]

seems to break with long bits of code. I erased my en.php mod and the page loaded again. Maybe what I am trying to do is not possible with this.

<?php
  $stringArray = array ( 
      '%%SHIPPING_USA_ONLY%%' => "Shipping to USA only.",
      '%%SATISFACTION_GUARANTEED%%' => "Your satisfaction is guaranteed!",
      '%%ipod_broken_screen%%' => "
Did you accidentally drop your iPod and to your horror notice the screen has large, black, inky spots? Send it in to have the screen replaced, and before you know it you will be listening to music again.

 

Add this repair to your cart if your screen:


Is cracked or has inky, black spots



Remains white but the iPod still functions



Does not turn on at all but the iPod still functions



Turns on but is dim and very hard to see (no backlight)


 

In some cases, a non-functional screen may be caused by a faulty logic board. If the logic board is the culprit, you will be contacted and given the option to:


Pay the difference in price to have the logic board replaced



Have your iPod returned and receive a refund minus the standard diagnostic fee ($4.95)



 Sell it to us and receive a full refund, plus extra CASH

Something like this:

has no hope of working. :) Be sure to escape inner quotes. It's best to use single quote to wrap the string, and double quote inside, escaping as required.

[hawaii350]

I knew it had to do something with the quotes within the quotes deal, just did not know you could replace the double quotes with single quotes :) Works like a charm now!

Thanks again,

Hi,
Is it possable to get this to work on prestashop v1.1 ?, It is something that I could use (for short description box text), so I am willing to donate to get it to work.

Or does anybody know of another way I can do this

All the best,
Cerberus22

[hawaii350]

Hope all is well.

Any chance of getting this to work on the short descriptions also or other parts of the website?

Keep up the great work!

[CrystalPhoenix]

Using v1.4 but can't find the "install" in Administration? Also - does it not work on short description? That's where I seem to be typing the same words over & over...
