Related products on product page in Magento

Move related products from default sidebar location into main product page in Magento.

1. Open catalog.xml, found in
app/design/frontend/default/YOURTEMPLATEFOLDER/layout/

2. In catalog.xml find the catalog_product_view section, around line 205. In the section, remove or comment out:

&lt;block type=&quot;catalog/product_list_related&quot; name=&quot;catalog.product.related&quot; before=&quot;-&quot; template=&quot;catalog/product/list/related.phtml&quot;/&gt;

and replace with:

&lt;reference name=&quot;content&quot;&gt;
&lt;block type=&quot;catalog/product_view&quot; name=&quot;product.info&quot; template=&quot;catalog/product/view.phtml&quot;&gt;
&lt;block type=&quot;catalog/product_list_related&quot; name=&quot;catalog.product.related&quot; as=&quot;related&quot; template=&quot;catalog/product/list/related.phtml&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/block&gt;
&lt;/reference&gt;

3. Now in your catalog/product/view.phtml you can print out the related products using

&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;getChildHtml('related'); ?&gt;

To edit the look of that list, edit catalog/product/list/related.phtml
