Formatting in short description

[siric]

When I place text in the short description box, it does not keep the formatting - carriage returns, bullets, etc. but in the long description the same text is displayed fine.

Does anyone else have this issue??

Thanks

did you find the solution? if yes, please share my friend

I don't think product list or featured product keep the format.
But product detail keep it....
Maybe you people use custom themes ?

Did you try using html code in your description?

For example:

This is the first line

This is the second line.

Followed by a third line of text

= line break

I'm not sure this will work, but it's worth a try.

For more information on html code visit w3schools

The line of code you need to change is line 10 of product-list.tpl in your theme directory:

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

Remove |strip_tags:'UTF-8' and the HTML tags won't be deleted.

This modification works for the release 1.3 ?

I tried but apparently, it does not work.

Could-you confirm ?

Thanks

[rocky]

Yes, it should work in PrestaShop v1.3.1.

[celestron]

Could-you send me the modified line or the modified file because I tried but the result is not good.

I think I proceed wrong.

Thanks a lot

In PrestaShop v1.3.1, you need to change line 9 of product-list.tpl in your theme's directory from:

<a href="{$product.link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$product.description_short|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:360:'...'}">{$product.description_short|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:360:'...'}

to:

<a href="{$product.link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$product.description_short|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:360:'...'}">{$product.description_short|truncate:360:'...'}

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I have just applied your modification but the result is the same.

Does it work for you ?

Thanks a lot

[rocky]

Yep, just tested it on my test site and it worked fine. The formatting and line breaks were no longer removed after making the change. I'm not sure why it isn't working for you. I'm using the default PrestaShop theme.

Can anyone tell me how to adapt this fix to prestashop v 1.4.8?

 

I manage to put an audio player in the product description but it doesn't show in the product list short description.
