Expend category text

[Mandy]

HI,

 

Cant seem to expand the text in the category intro box. (see attachment)

 

I get only 1 line of the text with .... behind it.

And below it gives a like with more (meer in dutch). When i click that, i see the whole text.

 

But i would like to see the text in one go, not by clicking more

 

could someone please help me?

 

thx!

Hi Mandy, could you please edit your post>use full editor> and attach the file again. Make sure to click on "Attach File" after you select the file.

 

You have not uploaded any file so far.

thx just edited it for you.

No Problem, are you comfortable going into .tpl files? If so go into your root>themes>[yourthemename]>category.tpl

 

Let me know if you need help.

 

You definitely want to back up these files first!

Groetjes Mandy,

 

If you've got version 1.5.4.1, then as Benjamin indicates, in themes/yourtheme/category.tpl around line 60 you'll find

 

{if strlen($category->description) > 120}

<p id="category_description_short">{$category->description|truncate:120}</p>

 

Change both occurrences 120 to a larger number to show the amount of text you desire.

 

Cheers Dave

But yes! He is definitely correct.

 

I'll like his post because he is right. Like Karma!

Sorry to have stolen your thunder, Benjamin - you snuck in while I was putting a response together, and I thought I should at least acknowledge you.

 

I'll let you have the next one!!

I'm still learning and- and- well haha. just kidding . It's okay! I hope it works out for Mandy! If I catch something you solved, I'll ask you for instructions.

 

 

Have a great day!
