simpson7647 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 hi all, currently in short description, it appears the text has to be side by side in one colour in one format. I'm looking to bold the info and place in bullet points but how please? thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 which version of prestashop you use? you can use product editor feature. Use wysiwyg editor and edit short description of your product exactly as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpson7647 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 thanks for the reply. 1.4.7 is the version I have. How would I go about using the wysiwyg as I've tried adding the text in bold and in bullet points but the format was removed. thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 HTML is stripped from the short description by default. I am sure you can find a work around somewhere on the forum, I think I have seen one before. But the reason it is stripped is because when you use it, it is going to look funky if you use your short description on your category pages, home featured, recommended products, or other spots like that. I know you don't have it on your home featured, but I cannot remember the other places off the top of my head. But using bold in the home description is not going to help for seo purposes. It doesn't actually use a strong tag, it uses a span to modify the font weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Dalton Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 simpson, if you just want that on your product page, look in your theme and open product.tpl. Find a line that looks like this, <div id="short_description_content" class="rte align_justify">{$product->description_short|strip_tags}</div> And remove the |strip_tags So it looks like, <div id="short_description_content" class="rte align_justify">{$product->description_short}</div You can do the same on other areas. But the point made by Dh is a good one. Some things will now look great on your product page. But may not look so good else where. If you are just using some bold text or another fonts size, it should be ok. But you'll need to keep an eye on your category product list pages and see if it is ok there. Alternatively you could enable the HTML on Category pages by doing the same edit in product-list.tpl. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpson7647 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 thank you for the reply. I was gonna do bullet point pieces of key information rather than a small block of info. What do you all reckon? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Bill daltons solution works like a charm so i marked this topic as solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Actually, what would be good is to move the features section to where the short description is in the product.tpl file. Then you can use the short description for other parts of the site. Unless I am wrong, the features section is already set up on using an ul and you can add bullet styling through the css file.
