Change Log
Version: 1.0.6
02/14/2026
Improvements
- Moved the logic for retrieving and preparing the attribute value from phtml to a dedicated block:
Kowal\AddtocartDescription\Block\Product\AddtocartDescription. - Changed block classes in product layouts to the new module block (simple/configurable/bundle), in line with Magento best practices.
- Simplified the addtocart-description.phtml template to the presentation layer.
Attribute handling
- Improved handling of attributes:
- select (rendering the option label),
- text,
- textarea.
- The attribute value is always processed through the CMS filter (FilterProvider->getPageFilter()->filter()), which enables proper rendering of PageBuilder content and CMS directives.
Technical changes
- Removed the use of ObjectManager from the frontend template.
- Retained display control through configuration:
addtocartdescription/settings/enable and addtocartdescription/settings/attribute_code.
Deployment impact
- No changes to the database structure.
- No new cron jobs/queues/indexers.
- Recommended after deployment: bin/magento cache:flush.
