Display Related Product In view.phtml

Follow the below steps to display related products.
1. Open catalog.xml, found in
app/design/frontend/default/YOURTEMPLATE/layout/
2. In catalog.xml find the catalog_product_view section, around line 220. In the section, remove or comment out:
  1. <block type=“catalog/product_list_related” name=“catalog.product.related” before=“-”template=“catalog/product/list/related.phtml”/>
and replace with:
  1. <reference name=“content”>
  2. <block type=“catalog/product_view” name=“product.info” template=“catalog/product/view.phtml”>
  3. <block type=“catalog/product_list_related” name=“catalog.product.related” as=“related”template=“catalog/product/list/related.phtml”/>
  4. </block>
  5. </reference>
3. Now in your catalog/product/view.phtml you can print out the related products using
  1. <?php echo $this->getChildHtml(‘related’); ?>
To edit the look of that list, edit catalog/product/list/related.phtml
OR You can also try this code to display related products
  1. <?php echo $this->getChildHtml(‘catalog.product.related’) ?>
If that above code doesn’t work, you might also try:
  1. <?php echo $this->getLayout()->getBlock(‘catalog.product.related’)->toHtml()?>
