Hi,

You could create a custom field of the table "product" via the menu Display>Custom fields in order to be able to add a short description to the products.
Then, in the view file product/show_default.php you can display the content of that field with such code:
<?php echo $this->element->XXX; ?>
where XXX is the column name of your custom field.

Hello,

Please provide a screenshot of your product custom field configuration.
(product custom fields are available in commercial editions of HikaShop)

Hi,

The custom product field will only display something on the product page if you've entered something in it in the backend when editing that product.
If you don't see the custom field in the "custom fields" area of your product edition, it means that the custom field is not configured properly.
So edit the custom field via the menu Display>Custom fields and provide a screenshot of the settings there as there must be a problem there.
