I am trying to use vqmod to implement a new custom field called 'Additional Description' to opencart.
In my vqmod xml file, I am trying to add an extra row to
admin/view/template/catalog/product_form.tpl
I would like this field to appear below the existing 'Description' field, so I am using the following code:
<file name="admin/view/template/catalog/product_form.tpl">
<operation error="skip">
<search position="after"><![CDATA[
<tr>
<td><?php echo $entry_description; ?></td>
<td><textarea name="product_description[<?php echo $language['language_id']; ?>][description]" id="description<?php echo $language['language_id']; ?>"><?php echo isset($product_description[$language['language_id']]) ? $product_description[$language['language_id']]['description'] : ''; ?></textarea></td>
</tr>
]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[
<tr>
<td><?php echo $entry_description_additional; ?></td>
<td><textarea name="product_description_additional[<?php echo $language['language_id']; ?>][description_additional]" id="description_additional<?php echo $language['language_id']; ?>"><?php echo isset($product_description_additional[$language['language_id']]) ? $product_description_additional[$language['language_id']]['description_additional'] : ''; ?></textarea></td>
</tr>
]]></add>
</operation>
</file>
However, it doesn't seem to find the position to insert the new code. When I put in a single line of code, it finds and inserts it correctly, but not when searching for the block. Is it an issue with whitespace/tabs etc? I am pasting the code directly from the product_form.tpl so I'm not sure what is going on.
Vqmod will not be able to match Ll of that. It is restricted to single lines only
Try using this instead to match it
<search position="after" offset="2"><![CDATA[echo $entry_description;]]></search>
