Full Version: Questions On Advanced Product Details

I am trying to modify my top of page based on the current product. Using the advanced product details and <%DRAWPRODUCTDESCRIPTION%>, I can determine which section of the store the product is located in order to change the top of page HTML. The problem is that the <%DRAWPRODUCTDESCRIPTION%> will only work inside the product portion of the page. If I try getting the value before the product portion of the page it returns '<%DRAWPRODUCTDESCRIPTION%>' instead of the substituted value. So, by the time the substitution occurs the top of page has already rendered and it is too late to change it. Does anyone know of any workaround or is anyone doing what I want to do?

Thanks.

Hello jkgraham,

The Advanced Product Display function calls will only work in the product section and not in any other section of the cart. This is why it will not render properly for you. The function calls were specifically designed to replicate the old functionality to draw in the center section only because they rely on many other items that are generated when the center section is going to be drawn. If you have any questions at all please feel free to update this post.
