HTML stripped from product description

[folkifoon]

Default view is grid, but when i change this to list view my products show like this:




I know it has something do to with product-list.tpl
 

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

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

</p>

I would like this part to be shown in html, how can i change this code? It looks so messy right now.

remove strip tags and truncate

{$product.description_short}

[folkifoon]

That is the only thing i already tried myself, after doing that its shows only white, so no text at all!

perhaps text is there but with white font? can you check page source for this text, please? (CTRL+U in chrome)

[folkifoon]

I checked that, but it's not there. Completely removed.

[vekia]

at least strange :/

can you show contents of your modified file, please?

Hello, have the same problem.

 

If I remove |strip_tags:'UTF-8' from this {$product.description_short|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:460:'...'} - my description_short disappears.

In DB description_short save like TEXT.

For example, if use |escape:'html':'UTF-8' I have all TEXT with html-tags how text.

 

But I need have description using tags, to take account of line breaks <br /> and etc.

[vekia]

so you use some other variable with modifiers than variable that i suggested to use?
 

{$product.description_short}

if you remove strip_tags you have to remove also truncate modifier (some tags will be unlosed! it can crash totally structure of website)

[LiTiNuM]

Yes, I'm understanding, I tried remove strip_tags and trunc, but In this case the description of the blank (empty).

 

I use Presta 1.6.0.6, all code of description_short save in DataBase how TEXT. Maybe need use some function to recognize and apply html-tags?

[LiTiNuM]

I solved it:

 

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

{$product.description_short|substr:3:-4|truncate:360:'...'}

</p>

[vekia]

and what about unclosed tags? with truncate tags opened somewhere in first 360 chars will be unclosed, it's dangerous, theme can be distorted

[folkifoon]

That code solved the problem for me LiTiNuM!

Vekia i checked my site, no problems after chaning this code. Can you confirm that this solution is good? It works, its now formatted in html just the same as on the product page itself.

[vekia]

check this, for example your desription contans table

 

<table>

<tr>

<td>

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, pro ei aliquid volumus. Tota regione vis ex, ex cum veritus interpretaris, molestie tincidunt vix at. Ex nisl neglegentur concludaturque mei, an vel sint accusam salutatus. Has ea ullum everti fabulas.Detracto consetetur an nam, ex congue tantas corrumpit vim. Mel euripidis dissentiet cu, sed choro percipit cu, id sit deleniti voluptua facilisis. In sed case praesent, his stet ancillae constituto ut. Eripuit eruditi praesent no est. Mea veritus tacimates eloquentiam eu, nam ne diceret explicari, utinam incorrupte ea quo. Te eam nostro causae laboramus, tollit assueverit cu eum.

Iusto possim vel et, mei utinam oportere disputando cu, vocibus eligendi aliquando an eos. Noluisse apeirian efficiantur mei ei, eu paulo meliore accumsan qui.

<td>
</td>

</table>

 

 

now you use variable:

{$product.description_short|substr:3:-4|truncate:360:'...'}

everything after 360 char will be cutted off:

 

 

<table>

<tr>

<td>

tags:

will be unclosed!!! it can generate a lof of theme problems (for example this can affect add to cart button and whole theme structure on product page)

if you want to use this method make sure that you will not leave any unclosed html tag

[LiTiNuM]

Hi, yes, if text will be so BIG, better to remove TRUNC.

But it's short, not FULL or LARGE description )))

 

I just write rule, and tell you, Presta 1.6.0.6 very peculiar processes short description.

For example, if I use 2 or more tags <p>, system shows just the first.

So I have to use 1 <p> and inside of them are used <span>, <br /> and etc.

[folkifoon]

I just dont understand why this is not fixed by default. I had the same problemen in version 1.5.

It just looks bad when there are no linebreaks. 

[vekia]

in fact, "it's not a bug, it's a feature" to prevent situations like i described

[folkifoon]

But it looks messy when you look at my first post, the screenshot dont u think?
