how to view details of a product in wordpress single.php?

[amith_ami]

I want to view the details of a product in single.php. The product is inserted in a newly added table "products" in the wordpress database and it has no post_type or post_id.

For a wordpress site, please do not add the table manually, normally what we done is use a custom post type by nested the code into functions.php

//add "product" custom post
    add_action( 'init', 'create_product_post_types' );
    function create_product_post_types() {
       register_post_type( 'product',
           array(
               'labels' => array(
               'name' => __( 'product' ),
               'singular_name' => __( 'product' ),
               'add_new' => __( 'Add New' ),
               'add_new_item' => __( 'Add new product' ),
               'edit' => __( 'Edit' ),
               'edit_item' => __( 'Edit product' ),
               'new_item' => __( 'New product' ),
               'view' => __( 'View product' ),
               'view_item' => __( 'View product' ),
               'search_items' => __( 'Search product' ),
               'not_found' => __( 'No product found' ),
               'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No product found in Trash' )
               ),
               'public' => true,
               'show_ui' => true,
               'publicly_queryable' => true,
               'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'custom-fields' ),
               'rewrite' => array("slug" => "product"),
               'taxonomies' => array('post_tag')
           )
       );
    }

This will create a post with the name 'product'. Then using the query_posts and the_permalink to get the link for single page and display the_content()

try to use the custom fields that will only be available after you select it from the 'screen option' at your right top corner. But if you wish for a better user effect like a date picking tools etc, you should research on 'metabox' where you will be able to create your own layout for the extra fields.
