I want to add default product descriptions depending on the category

[hisapon]

Hello. 

I am building a store with Prestashop 8.2.1

I would like to add a description below the product description, depending on the category to which the product belongs.

Example
ProductA (category-A)
  Product description
  ++product description(A:Unified description by category)
  Product Tabs

ProductA (category-B)
  Product description
  ++product description(B:Unified description by category)
  Product Tabs

Can I achieve this with the standard features of Prestashop?

If anyone has achieved this with Addon Module, please let me know.

Hi.

There is a short and a long description. Where do you want to embed it? Rather than text, a screen will help us see where the category text should be placed.

Thank you for reply.
I've attached a picture. Please check it out.

I'm looking for a way to add default descriptions for each category in position A or B.

Hi.

There are several solutions.
One of the simplest is to create an override of Product.php and add your own static function + to that, insert a static function call into your product.tpl template.

Another option is to program a mini module and connect it to hooks. On the product page, you could use the displayReassurance hook (before the product tabs) or the displayFooterProduct hook (at the end of the product detail page), or create your own hook in the module and insert it into the product tpl template.

 

Override Product.php and override product.tpl:

Product.php + static function (sample)

public static function getProductCategoryDescription($idProduct, $idLang, $idShop = '1')
    {
        $db = Db::getInstance();
        $product = new Product((int)$idProduct);
        $context = Context::getContext();
        $idCategoryDefault = $product->id_category_default;
        $getDecription = $db->getValue('SELECT description FROM '._DB_PREFIX_.'category_lang WHERE id_category = '.$idCategoryDefault.' AND id_lang = '.$idLang.' AND id_shop = '.$idShop);
        return $getDecription;
    }

 

product.tpl (sample ./themes/classic/templates/catalog/product.tpl)

 {block name='display_category_description'}
              {if Product::getProductCategoryDescription($product.id, $language.id) != ''}
                <div id="category-description" class="text-muted">{Product::getProductCategoryDescription($product.id, $language.id) nofilter}</div>
              {/if}
            {/block}

Thank you for including the sample code.
I guess this problem can't be solved with Prestashop's standard functions.
It's a bit difficult for me, so I'll look for an add-on on the Marketplace.

I appreciate your advice.

Okay. If you can't find anything, I have a similar module that you need 😉

The image of the module shows hooks where you can insert a category description.
