Manufacturer.tpl - How to hide part of the short description and add read more button?

[robbie007]

Hi,

 

We use Presta 1.6.0.9 and we want to have the manufacturer.tpl somewhat changed.

Now you see the whole long and short description. We want to have one of the two (no prefference)

showing around 355 caracters and hide the rest of the text + add a bottun to read more (Read more).

 

Anyone??

Nobody out there? Seems simple to me and it's a use friendly way to display content.

 

Looking forward to your input.
