I have created an attribute with "Product Details" as Textarea in admin panel.

Now I need to make it display as "Product Details" next to description tab in product detail page for each and every product.

Any suggestions please.

Just add this code after Description block in catalog.xml files

<block type="catalog/product_view_attributes" name="Your_attribute_name" as="additional" template="catalog/product/view/attributes.phtml">
    <action method="addToParentGroup"><group>detailed_info</group></action>
    <action method="setTitle" translate="value"><value>Your tab name</value></action>
 </block>

you can add in the above way for any number of tabs needed hope this helps.

  • @dh47 catalog.xml should not be edited directly, this should go in local.xml

  • @dh47 Yes you "can" edit it these files however you're asking for upgrade issues by editing any app/design/frontend/*/default/layout/*.xml files. By copying these files from base/default or rwd/default to you're local theme you are losing ALL upgrade instructions from an ENTIRE core module when you perform Magento upgrades. If this is what you're looking for then edit away. There isn't anything in these files that cannot be appended to / modified / removed with instructions from local.xml.

Create the file app/frontend/design/{packageName}/{themeName}/layout/local.xml if it does not exist already.

Note: {packageName} is most likely "default" or "rwd", depending on your site setup. {themeName} should be a folder you created to use as the theme for your site, which extends the "default" theme.

In that local.xml file, include the following: (If this file already exists for you, just add the contents within the 'catalog_product_view' layout handle).

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
    <catalog_product_view>
        <reference name="product.info">
            <block type="catalog/product_view_attributes" name="product_details" template="catalog/product/view/attributes.phtml">
                <action method="addToParentGroup"><group>detailed_info</group></action>
                <action method="setTitle" translate="value"><value>Product Details</value></action>
            </block>
        </reference>
    </catalog_product_view>
</layout>
