[Solved] Is it possible to hide short discripton of product when viewing specific category products?

[Vilas]

Dear Friend,

I want to hide short description of products which displayed when we browse products from a particular category due to which text not seen properly.

Please find image for reference.

This is very easily accomplished. Do the following:

Open themes>yourtheme>product-list.tpl

Remove the following code (line 35):

{$product.description_short|truncate:360:'...'|strip_tags:'UTF-8'}

That will remove the product description. Hope that helps!

Hi - I am not an expert but I think you can do this if you edit your product.tpl line 145 and cut or comment out the line with "short_description_content" as I have done here:

    
{if $product->description_short}
           <!-- {$product->description_short}-->
           {/if}
           {if $product->description}

{l s='More details'}
           {/if}

{l s='More details'}
           {/if}

This will remove the description from the actual product page. This not what Vilas is wanting (see image). See my post for the file that needs to be modified.

Dear Marty Shue & ukmacnut,

You both are simply great. You resolved my issue without any trouble. I have one more query is it possible to remove the background color to white?

Please check image for reference.

Thanks

Of course it is possible

Look in:

themes/yourtheme/css/product_list.css

Change this line (line #4)

background: #d0d3d8 url('../img/block_category_item_bg.jpg') repeat-x;

To

background: #fff;

That should do it!

Dear Marty Shue,

You are great. Your resolved my issues. Thanks a lot for it. Sorry but I have one more query. Hope this time also you will help me. I want to do same thing which I asked about category. I want to make white background to featured products. Please find image.

Thanks in advance. Sorry for troubling you.

You are welcome!

To do this you will need to edit two lines of code. If you don't edit both when you hover over the product the background will change colors.

Change line 891 from

background-color: #d0d3d8;

to this

background-color: #fff;

then you will need to change line 888 from

#center_column .products_block ul li:hover { background-color: #bdc2c9 }

to this

#center_column .products_block ul li:hover { background-color: #fff }

This will give you the look you want. It is no trouble......this is what the forum is for :-)

Hi,

I want to add thin border at around featured products. Check image for reference.

Could you please help me how to do it?

Thanks
Vilas

Hi Vilas!

I'll be glad to help you do this

Follow these steps:

First go to themes>yourtheme>css>global.css

change line 881 to something like this

#center_column .products_block {
   border: 1px solid #000;
}

this will put a black line around the entire Featured Products div

Next, change the following (around line 889)(only add the border-right and border-top)

#center_column .products_block ul li {
   float: left;
   background-color: #fff;
   margin-top: 0;
   padding: 0 0 1px;
   width: 133px;
   border-right:solid 1px #000;
   border-top:solid 1px #000;
}

Again, this will put a thin black line around each product. This needs to equal the border you put around the entire Featured Products div so it will look correct.

Hope that helps you!
