How to Show Bid History on the View Product Page

Archived from the Web Auction Discussion forum.

Being able to see who has bid on an item creates friendly bidding wars in our group. Unfortunately, it seems that only the administrator can see them. Is there a way to show all the bids and bidder’s names on the Product page? I’ve added the “Current High Bidder” name that I saw in another thread in this forum, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to show the full bid history on the page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can access the bids as follows:

Code: Select all

{foreach from=$product->getRelatedRecordObjects('bids') item=bid}   {$bid->val('username')} : {$bid->val('bid_amount')} {/foreach}

Etc.. you can access any field in the bids table by this method. I have only shown the username and bid_amount in this snippet.

Nevermind - I figured it out.

I’d like to include the timestamp of the bid in the history, but can’t seem to get that to work. Any help would be appreciated.

That would go in the view_product.html template.
