Noisette Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Please could someone tell me how you format the text for product descriptions on the main product page? eg. On my own site www.dermite-estivale.fr, when you click on one of the categories on the left, the main product discription comes up. That's the text i don't know how to format. Strangly, I do see how to format the product text which appears when you click on a product from the home page. The guy who designed my site and chose PrestaShop can't help me. I AM pleased he chose PrestaShop though as I didn't like the way OSC worked on someone elses site..Thanks in advanceHazel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 If by formatting, you mean adding bold/italic or line breaks to the descriptions on the listing pages, then it is not possible. Prestashop automatically strips all formatting from descriptions and truncates them to the specified number of characters. I'm not sure how to stop Prestashop from doing this.

Noisette Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 HiThanks for your reply.Yes, I do mean Bold, italic etc. it seems extraordinary if yo can't format - how are you meant to make things look good and easily readable?does anyone else know the answer?

jhnstcks Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I presume you mean the category description and not the product description, as thats what you get when you select a category. If thats right then you currently cannot format that text unless you wish to change the whole page ie the font size or change the whole page to bold.

Noisette Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thank you for that even though it's not the answer i would have liked! At lease now I have a definitive answer. I don't seem to have had answers :long: to other questions (even when I wrote directly to a PrestaShop Team member) such as ...How do I change the order in which 1. the categories on the left and 2. the products on the main page appear?Hazel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhnstcks Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 http://www.prestashop.com/wiki/Sorting_categories/The default setting for product layout is generally by where they are located in your catalog. You can move products up and down using the position column in your admin>catalog section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
