persillie

If you only insert it, it will be overridden by the original code. You would have to replace it. No time now but can have a look at what you need to replace exactly and how it would work for all attributes

Hi

I think, that is a woocommerce issue that they don’t show the description. I altered the product-attributes.php in templates/single-product (woocommerce) to show the description (for a specific attribute only: pa_garn), starting at line 54:

if ( $attribute['is_taxonomy'] ) {
// changes persillie
//$values = woocommerce_get_product_terms( $product->id, $attribute['name'], 'names' );
   $values = array();
   $separator = ',';
   // here I check the specific attribute
   if ('pa_specAttr' == $attribute['name']){
    $separator = '<br>';
    $garns = get_the_terms($product->id, 'pa_specAttr');

    foreach ( $garns as $term )   {
      $text = $term->name .": ".$term->description;
      $values[$term->name ] = $text ;
    }
  } else {
    $values = woocommerce_get_product_terms( $product->id,
        $attribute['name'], 'names' );
  }
  echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_attribute', wpautop( wptexturize( implode( $separator, $values ) ) ), $attribute, $values );
  // end changes persillie
} else {
  // Convert pipes to commas and display values
  $values = array_map( 'trim', explode( WC_DELIMITER,
            $attribute['value'] ) );
  echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_attribute', wpautop( wptexturize( implode( ', ', $values ) ) ), $attribute, $values );

}

If you want it for every attribute, remove the if below the // here I check the specific attribute comment

However, this is annoying as I have to change the template with every woocommerce update…

I am very happy if anybody has a better solution!
