eStore – show description on shopping cart page

[Robert]

I thought I’d be able to show both the item name and item description in the shopping cart, but can’t find it anywhere.

I started working on a solution, but would like to see if you could give me a just a little direction. Based on the fancy1 shoping cart version, I’d like to show the product description after the name. I’ve started here, link below, showing the product name twice, but want the description to show instead of the second name).

I see that the $item shows the name, but can’t figure out how to get the description to show.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Here’s a link to the page.

Product description can be long. So if you show the product description and the users add a few items in the cart then the cart will become a little cluttery and unmanageable. That is definitely not good for conversion. So you probably should ask yourself one more time, is this something you really really want to do.

With that said, the following post should help you:

The item ID can be accessed using the following inside the loop:

$item['item_number']

I only have a few items with long descriptions.

Thanks, this worked just like I wanted.
