Thread: Where does Summary display

Hello,
I have the summary of a product filled in but cannot get it to display anywhere. How do we display the summary? The description displays.
Thanks

Summary is only used for internal notes it is not meant to be displayed on the front end.

Summary:

Information entered on the Summary tab is not actually displayed anywhere on the front end. This can be used for internal notes, special instructions, etc. This tab uses the Telerik RAD editor, and can accept HTML code. To insert HTML, click the “<>” button at the bottom of the editor.

You'll need to modify your xmlpackage to get the summary displayed.

OK thanks for the info

Yeah I just wanted to include a brief description in addition to the product name.
very similar to how they do it here in this aspdnsf

Looks to me like they're displaying the first x characters of the description.

Many xml packages reach for the summary data already. Entities will use summary by changing "description" to summary.

Or added to the display by referencing the Summary where available

Code:

<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:GetMLValue(Summary)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

Hi George,
Can you tell me where exactly I can find that line to modify?
thanks

Which xmlpackage are you trying to do this in? That's going to make a difference in what/how it gets changed.

I just have the standard ML software. I dont know what to change to make this work. I have the code.
Thanks

Just as George said, we'll need to know the exact name of the XML package. Some package still needs to query it but for product.*****.xml.config, simply add it wherever on the XML package's content...

THanks
Where do I look to see the name of the XML package?

what page is this on (category? manufacturer? product? etc).

the XmlPackage is set as the Display format for it in the admin site, so you can see the name there, or post a URL and we can tell you which one it is if you want also.

Thanks.

Category pages. This is for the list of products displayed in the categories that I want to see the summary.

The category that has the products that I need to see the product summary are using entity.gridwithprices.xlm.config

the actual products that are in that category are using product.simplevariantformat2.xml.config

Thanks very much

Also this is a new store that is not even live yet so the xml packages can change if I have to

If you open the XML package, look for:

Code:

<xsl:template name="ProductCell">

That contains the HTML and XSL that is used to build the individual product cells on the page. That is where you want to drop the XSL: value-of select statement that George provided earlier.

I am at least getting closer.
Does this look right? becasue I get this error:
'xsl:value-of' cannot be a child of the 'xsl:choose' element

</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="ProductCell">
<xslaram name="pName" select="aspdnsf:GetMLValue(Name)"></xslaram>
<xslaram name="pSalesPromptName" select="aspdnsf:GetMLValue(SalesPromptName)"></xslaram>
<xslaram name="pSEAltText" select="aspdnsf:GetMLValue(SEAltText)"></xslaram>
<xslaram name="AltText">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:GetMLValue(Summary)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
<xsl:when test="$pSEAltText=''"><xsl:value-of select="$pName" /></xsl:when>
<xsltherwise><xsl:value-of select="$pSEAltText" /></xsltherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xslaram>

And it almost works here using this code I see this picture
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="ProductCell">
<xslaram name="pName" select="aspdnsf:GetMLValue(Name)"></xslaram>
<xslaram name="pSalesPromptName" select="aspdnsf:GetMLValue(SalesPromptName)"></xslaram>
<xslaram name="pSEAltText" select="aspdnsf:GetMLValue(SEAltText)"></xslaram>
<xslaram name="AltText">
<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:GetMLValue(Summary)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
<xsl:choose>

I need to get rid of that "SM-S2" />" Not sure where that is comming from and also place the summary below the product name
