Zen Cart automatically adds product numbers to each of your products. Here's how to make the product IDs a little more useful.

==== Add the product ID to the product page ====

Add this code to **includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php** wherever you like (we chose right under the title, line 62)
<code php>
  ID: <?php echo $_GET['products_id']; ?><br />
</code>

==== Add the ID number to the page title ====

in **includes/modules/meta_tags.php** \\
Find line 275 
<code php>
define('META_TAG_TITLE', str_replace('"','',$review_on . $meta_products_name . $meta_products_price . PRIMARY_SECTION . TITLE . TAGLINE));
</code>

and replace it with 
<code php>
$meta_products_name .= " ID: " . $product_info_metatags->fields['products_id'];
define('META_TAG_TITLE', str_replace('"','',$review_on . $meta_products_name . $meta_products_price . PRIMARY_SECTION . TITLE . TAGLINE));
</code>

==== Make IDs Searchable ====

in **includes/modules/pages/advanced_search_results/header_php.php** \\
Insert right after (line 58)
<code php>
if (isset($_GET['keyword']) && $_GET['keyword'] != HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT  && $_GET['keyword'] != KEYWORD_FORMAT_STRING) {
    $keywords = $_GET['keyword'];
  }
</code>
this code
<code php>
  if (strpos($keywords, ' ') === FALSE && is_numeric($keywords) &&  (int)$keywords == $keywords)
    {
      $exists = $db->Execute("SELECT products_id FROM products WHERE products_id = " . (int)$keywords . " AND products_status = 1");
      if( !$exists->EOF)
        {
          zen_redirect(zen_href_link('product_info' , 'products_id=' . (int)$keywords , 'NONSSL', false));
        }
    }
</code>
