[merlino]

Hello ,

I'm start using PS 1.4.1 recently and I need to have a shorter "short description" in product page...what I have to do?

I heve follow this tread :

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/64270/general_discussion/solved_how_to_truncate_the_short_description_text_on_the_product_listing_page_and_the_product_page_itself

without success.. :-(

Look for the following line:

                {$product->description_short}

and change it to

                {$product->description_short|truncate:50:'...'}

I have just tested this so i know it works. Make sure you have turned on force compile and turned off cache otherwise you wont see any changes on you page.
