Is there a way to show and use a custom product fields on the OSEL page?

I want to make a control statement using a custom product field on the OSEL page. Is this possible?

You would need a 3rd party module like the Emporium Plus Tool Kit. The basket items database does not link directly to the custom products fields database. So you need mivascript code in the background to do that linkage. The Tool Kit has a function for retrieving the custom field value. The code would be something like

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="custom|studio|l.all_settings:item:product_id|company" />
<mvt:if expr="g.studio">
Studio: &mvte:global:studio;
</mvt:if>

If you don't already have the Tool Kit you can get it at http://www.emporiumplus.com/go/wcw/PROD/1AA/1AA00223 The module has dozens of useful functions for extending the capabilities of Merchant's store morph page templates.

Sometimes you have to look in the summary section at the beginning of the product page to remind yourself of the features it will do. Glad I could help.

They should bundle Toolkit with Miva and save us some bother.
