Display Related products on product details page in Magento

June 2nd, 2012 by Laeeq | 2 comments

As a magento developer, many times we had requirement to display related product on product details page. Actually it’s very easy to show related product by following few easy steps. First we will have to add products to a particular product as related product.

Screen shows product added as related product

Follow the below steps to display related products.

1. Open catalog.xml, found in

app/design/frontend/default/YOURTEMPLATE/layout/

2. In catalog.xml find the catalog_product_view section, around line 220. In the section, remove or comment out:
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
  1. <block type=“catalog/product_list_related” name=“catalog.product.related” before=“-” template=“catalog/product/list/related.phtml”/>

and replace with:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
  1. <reference name=“content”>
  2. <block type=“catalog/product_view” name=“product.info” template=“catalog/product/view.phtml”>
  3. <block type=“catalog/product_list_related” name=“catalog.product.related” as=“related” template=“catalog/product/list/related.phtml”/>
  4. </block>
  5. </reference>

3. Now in your catalog/product/view.phtml you can print out the related products using
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
  1. <?php echo $this->getChildHtml(‘related’); ?>

To edit the look of that list, edit catalog/product/list/related.phtml

OR You can also try this code to display related products
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
  1. <?php echo $this->getChildHtml(‘catalog.product.related’) ?>

If that above code doesn’t work, you might also try:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
  1. <?php echo $this->getLayout()->getBlock(‘catalog.product.related’)->toHtml()?>

 

Hope it will work for you!
