CCK Taxonomy field in Product content type
Submitted by Boletus on Thu, 11/15/2007 - 14:40
Hi! I'm building a store for antiques. I have enabled the Manufacturer module, that turns into a taxonomy category, but I need to set up a Designer - Artist category as well. I want to add a CCK field to the product content type where I can choose from a category. Do you recommend any one module in particular? Or can this be done in another way?
Can anybody with programming knowledge let me know if it is possible to add a CCK field that prints the category terms for a product. I want to add taxonomy terms to a product node the usual way, but also use that term in the description of the product like this: CCK fields for Product How can I add a CCK field kinda like this: Designer : "taxonomy/term/1/" or something? I found a PHP field in the edit CCK field page. How do I print out the terms from a category? Need to learn PHP... sigh. Since you're working with nodes, the taxonomy terms should be available to you anyway. All the terms are stored in $node->taxonomy when the node is loaded. Where do you want to print them out? I have added quite a few CCK fields to the product content type. I have created the taxonomy categories and added terms. I just don't want to add them manually again to the node CCK fields, but instead print the terms that are associated to the node. There is a PHP field under "Default value" in a text field CCK. Can I add a snippet there to display the terms for a specified category? Product node fields: Artist: print term from category Artist (automatically generated) Do I make sense? OK, I understand. Instead of CCK, I think I recommend Contemplate which lets you theme your nodes and shows you all the different parts of the node that you can use. You still have to learn a little PHP, and Contemplate has annoying default values for its templates. The main reason I recommend it is because I know it works. With CCK fields, I'm not so sure you have access to the $node object automatically. Contemplate? Ok... I'll give a serious try. A little PHP? Where can I find the values and variables I can use? I am a total noob on such matters. Thanks! We'll donate if I ever get this store up and running. My, my, I feel stupid. I have to do it the hard way then I guess. Double work, but at least I'll get going. Hi Lyle, Where do you want to print them out?" How can i print out and theme the manufacturer link on products page? How can i get the right taxonomy term? <?phpI tried such as <a href="<?php print $node->taxonomy['term']['#value'] ?>" title="manufacturer info" class="manufacturer">manufacturer info</a>on node-product.tpl.php. But it doesn't work and i'm not a php programmer. In contemplate there is no variable for this on content-type "product".
