Magento – Create product tab that displays custom attribute – Ultimo Theme

ce-1.9.1.0tabs

On the product page, I would like to create a new tab next to the description tab named 'What's Included'.

I have created a attribute with text area named included to display what items that come with a product.

Here is the section of code in the local.xml file of the theme for the tabs:

<block type="catalog/product_view_tabs" name="product.info.tabs" as="info_tabs" template="catalog/product/view/tabs.phtml" >

            <!-- Product description -->
            <action method="addTab" translate="title" module="catalog"><alias>description</alias><title>Product Description</title><block>catalog/product_view_description</block><template>catalog/product/view/description.phtml</template></action>

If I duplicate the Product Description tab code above it will add another description tab but I do not know how to change it to be the included tab.

Also, I understand that I need to create .phtml file such as included.phtml but do not know what to put in that file to display the included attribute info.

Please follow bellow steps

Step : 1

Add included tab code in local.xml file (add code after line no. 388) 

<action method="addTab" translate="title" module="catalog"><alias>included</alias><title>What's Included</title><block>catalog/product_view_attributes</block><template>catalog/product/view/included.phtml</template></action>

Step : 2 Create new file included.phtml in location (app\design\frontend\ultimo\default\template\catalog\product\view)

and add bellow code in file 

<?php
    $_helper = $this->helper('catalog/output');
    $_product = $this->getProduct()
?>
<?php if ($_included = $this->getProduct()->getIncluded()): ?>
    <h2><?php echo $this->__('included') ?></h2>
    <div class="std">
        <?php echo $this->helper('catalog/output')->productAttribute($this->getProduct(), $_included, 'included') ?>
    </div>
<?php endif; ?>
