[solved] purchased theme category description error

[ledelire]

Hello there,

 

I hope this is the right place to post this, I'm still getting to know Presta Shop. I have researchd the forum for this issue but can't seem to find it anywhere.

 

I have wrote the devellopers too, but never got an answer.

 

I have purchased the 01premium theme, and I'm finding out that in my categories description, in the front office, I only get to have the first line displayed, and not even completely, without even any option to expand the descritpion (but I'd rather prefer my customers not having to expand anything).

 

I don't know if it's a known issue, nor where to solve this, but it is very important for me. I am still pretty unfamiliar with Presta Shop and not familiar with coding, but with logical thoughts and deductions I have made my way through more or less, so any help with details clear enough for a brute to understand will be greatly appreciated

 

Thank you very much!

we don't know sources of this template - so it's really hard to help.

if it is possible - please paste here contents of category.tpl file located in your theme directory.

I think that the problem is there.

[vekia]

you've got in your code this:

 

{$category->description|truncate:120}

 

change it to:

 

{$category->description}
