[SOLVED] Product List Short Description

[Online Office USA]

Hello. In trying different layouts and content presentation I decided that I like to have more content in the Short Description as bullet points as opposed to the normal few sentences. The problem I'm having is that the Product List Short Description is also affected as you can see in the images. I would like to be able to truncate the description on the Product List page if possible. I see the code in product_list.tpl that I would have thought would do the trick but making changes didn't have any results.

 

Using version 1.4.6.2 with prestashop_new theme

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

in file product-list.tpl find

 

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

 

and remove strip_tags:

 

{$product.description_short|truncate:360:'...'}

and remove strip_tags:

Thanks for the input but unfortunately that didn't do it...

I also wanted the short desription in product list to be the same as product view but was unable to get an answer.

I tried the above but the product list view did not change.

I hope we are talking about the same thing.

 

Changed this

 

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

 

To this

 

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

It is working solution (tested). And there is no need to remove strip_tags from the title attribute.

 

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

OK I did get this to work, I forgot to Force Compile as soon as I did that I had an ordered list.

 

Thanks so much.

Same here.. 1.6 not working

[oxygenuk]

this does not work with 1.6

 

any ideas?

Try this:

<div class="product-desc" itemprop="description">
    {$product.description_short|truncate:360:'...'}
</div>

So basically you have to remove the strip_tags thing and replace the p html tag with a div.

 

Hope it helps.

my product list. tpl contains:

 

<p class="product-desc" itemprop="description">

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

</p>

 

but in the frontend the value appears as undefined , 

 

I'm using PS 1.6.1.0

 

anyone knows the reason? THANKS!

 

i also try

 

<div class="product-desc" itemprop="description">

{$product.description_short|truncate:360:'...'}
</div>

 

wihout <p></p> but also appears "undefined"

 

[TempFail]

<div class="product-desc" itemprop="description">
{$product.description_short|truncate:360:'...'}
</div>

Worked. I have 1.6.1.14. Have you forced template recompilation?
