Change characteristic popup if only one option

There is a need to occasionally have a product with only one characteristic as a variant, e.g. we have a shirt only in Red. But we want it to be a product with a variant because in future we may add other colours.

Now with only one option in a characteristic, it looks on with a pop-up with only one choice. What I would like to do is to either not have the Characteristic appear as a pop-up on the product page, or for it to appear as a Text instead of a popup.

I see that the code is placed by view->product->show_block_charasteristic, but I can not see where it is put together. Can you please direct me to the correct file?

Thanks

Hello,

I think that you'll probably have to edit the show_default file of the product view.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks for the reply Mohamed,

The view->product-> show_default does not render the characteristic popup. That is definitely done by view->product->show_block_charasteristic.

But I do not know what the following calls:

$this->characteristic->displayFE($this->element, $this->params)

Thanks Nicolas,

Do we already have a function I can use to check the number variants or the number of elements in the popup?

I'm sorry Nicoals. I did not read your post properly, I though because you said add "that" code at the beginning, you wrote the line of code which I should be adding my code before. But you actually had written the code for me to use.

Thank you very much. Working EXACTLY as I wanted it to. Sorry about the time wasting after that.

P.S. I'm not sure if you are aware, but for some reason the view file is called block_charasteristic. It can cause a little confusion when searching for a view with the term "characteristic".
