Body
I'd like to put some additional info under each item in the cart. I have this info already saved in table "sales_flat_quote_item" in "additional_info" field. So the question is only how to show it globally at all places where the items are shown. I saw in several places under item name there is a structure like this: <pre><code><?php if ($addtInfoBlock = $this->getProductAdditionalInformationBlock()):?> <?php echo $addtInfoBlock->setItem($_item)->toHtml() ?> <?php endif;?> </code></pre> For example in this files: /app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/cart/item/default.phtml /app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/onepage/review/item.phtml So I suppose this is the place I should use for such task. What I figured out is that: I have to add my own block definition to for example: <pre><code><checkout_cart_index> <block type="core/text_list" name="additional.product.info" translate="label"> <label>Additional Product Info</label> <block type="various/itemrendererdefault" name="glass.additional" as="glass" template="checkout/cart/glass_additional.phtml"/> </block> </checkout_cart_index> </code></pre> This is no problem so far. My class is loaded <pre><code>class Site1_Various_Block_Itemrendererdefault extends Mage_Core_Block_Template { public function setItem(Varien_Object $item) { $this->setData('item', $item); return $this; } public function getItem() { return $this->_getData('item'); } } </code></pre> and the template checkout/cart/glass_additional.phtml is called. But inside the template I have no idea how to get the info about what $item should I process. I tried: <pre><code>$_item = $this->getItem(); print_r($_item); $_item = $this->getData(); print_r($_item); </code></pre> but it returns nothing. So my question is: How to get $item data inside my template. Can I access the data set in? <pre><code>... $addtInfoBlock->setItem($_item)->toHtml(); ... </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
