Content Custom field
To specify more information about your product, you might be using the description part of the product page. Generally, the description part will be displayed at the bottom of the product page after the title, price and the cart button. What if you wish to display text somewhere else apart from the description part?
Well, of course, you might consider using special module positions or publishing custom html modules. Some might even think of trying overrides. But in these cases, the text would be static.But, when you want the content to be dynamic, how do you achieve this?
**NOTE: This plugin only allows you to enter dynamic data to each of your products.
It is not possible to display form fields or any other input fields at the storefront and collect user input using this field.
Here are the steps to be done:
- Create Joomla fields.
