Description of Products

[SergioE]

Hii,

 

I want to put only the content of the product in the long description , in order to show how short description about the first two or three lines long description by a truncate . There would have to make changes in the product.php and the .tpl guess not ?

 

Someone can tell me how to make these changes ?

 

Sorry for my English.

I want to put only the content of the product in the long description 

content of what? can you shed some more light on this please?

 

you mean that as a "short" description you want to show:

- several lines of product description

- create some kind of "more" button

- when someone press it, the rest of product description will appear

 

?

Hello. Try this.

 

Open product.tpl

 

Find:

{if $product->description}
	<!-- More info -->
	<section class="page-product-box">

Replace with:

{if $product->description}
	<!-- More info -->
	<section class="page-product-box" id="full-desc">

And add to your link where you have "Read more" anchor so it would lead to full description.

 

For example: <a href="#full-desc">Read more</a>

If you want to replace the short description with a truncated version of the long description, change the following at around line 181 of themes/default-bootstrap/product.tpl:

						<div id="short_description_content" class="rte align_justify" itemprop="description">{$product->description_short}</div>

to:

						<div id="short_description_content" class="rte align_justify" itemprop="description">{$product->description|truncate:300}</div>

Change 300 to the maximum number of characters you want to have.

[SergioE]

Yeah, but I see you do not understand what I want . Attached pictures to see it.

 

I want to put the content in the long description , and which have short description for example the first 100 words of the long description. Because if I copy and paste the contents of the short description in the long run would not duplicate content ?

 

With the pictures you understand now?

 

Thank you

See my post above. It should do this.

[SergioE]

I will not have duplicate content issues with that code does not ?

[rocky]

As long as you set an acceptable number of characters that is below the minimum length of the description, you shouldn't have duplicate content.

[SergioE]

I set the maximum size for the short description in 1200. In preferences -> products.

I mean in my code modification above there is truncate:300 to display a maximum of 300 characters before truncating the long description and adding ...

 

Did you make the code modification above?

[SergioE]

It does not work, only appears when you insert a character in the short description. If empty , nothing appears.

 

This is the code:

	<div id="short_description_block">
					{if $product->description_short}
						<div id="short_description_content" class="rte align_justify" itemprop="description">{$product->description|truncate:300}</div>
					{/if}

 <section class="page-product-box">
            	<h3 class="page-product-heading">{l s='More info'}</h3>{/if}
        		{if isset($product) && $product->description}
           	 		<!-- full description -->
            		<div  class="rte">{$product->description}</div>
            </section>

[rocky]

Oops. Try:

{*{if $product->description_short}*}
						<div id="short_description_content" class="rte align_justify" itemprop="description">{$product->description|truncate:300}</div>
{*					{/if}*}

Removing the if statement should allow it to work without a short description.

[SergioE]

Is for the condition "if" ??

{if $product->description_short || $packItems|@count > 0}
				<div id="short_description_block">
					{if $product->description_short}
						<div id="short_description_content" class="rte align_justify" itemprop="description">{$product->description|truncate:300}</div>
					{/if}

[SergioE]

If I remove the "if " does not work the page.

You must have made an error when replacing the code. You should remove the {if $product->description_short} and it's corresponding {/if} only. Do not delete any other if statements.

[SergioE]

I still blank out the description , only the sample in the long description.

 

Still blank out the description , only the sample in the long description . In the short description which should leave the repetition of the long description , but with 300 characters , nothing appears.

 

I attached my file.I

Now it works , the code has been so tell me if it's okay:

{*{if $product->description_short || $packItems|@count > 0}*}
				<div id="short_description_block">
					{*{if $product->description_short}*}
						<div id="short_description_content" class="rte align_justify" itemprop="description">{$product->description|truncate:300}</div>
					{*{/if}*}

					{if $product->description}
						<p class="buttons_bottom_block">
							<a href="#descriptionTab" class="button">
								{l s='More details'}
							</a>
						</p>
					{/if}
                <!--{if $packItems|@count > 0}
						<div class="short_description_pack">
						<h3>{l s='Pack content'}</h3>
							{foreach from=$packItems item=packItem}

							<div class="pack_content">
								{$packItem.pack_quantity} x <a href="{$link->getProductLink($packItem.id_product, $packItem.link_rewrite, $packItem.category)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}">{$packItem.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}</a>
								<p>{$packItem.description_short}</p>
							</div>
							{/foreach}
						</div>
					{/if}-->
            </div> <!-- end short_description_block -->
        {*{/if}*}

I guess this would not cause duplicate content , no?

[rocky]

Looks good.

 

You don't need to worry about duplicate content unless you have some long descriptions that are under 300 characters.

[SergioE]

My sheet stay that way. With what's descriptions that have more than 800 characters.

 

That is what you say about those 300 characters ?

[rocky]

You'll be fine if your descriptions have 800 characters or more.

[SergioE]

Thank you

[SergioE]

Is there a way to make the truncate ignore the "a" links?
