shortening the description of the category in prestashop 1.7

[Ksawery88]

hey, he wants to shorten the description of the category to 500 characters I want the read more button to appear

in the file /themes/classic/templates/catalog/listing/category.tpl is:
    

<h1 class="h1">{$category.name}</h1>
      {if $category.description}
        <div id="category-description" class="text-muted">{$category.description nofilter}</div>
      {/if}

In prestashop 1.6, read more is standard when the description is too large. How should I do this on prestashop 1.7?

I don't know if it works in 1.7, but try this:

 <div id="category-description" class="text-muted">{$category.description|truncate:500 nofilter}</div>

I guess this will do the trick. However, in future releases of PrestaShop Smarty code will be eliminated.

It does not work. I mean, I have a long text and I want to shorten it. To make the read more button appear. Prestashop 1.6 is standard. How should I do this on prestashop 1.7?

Sorry, my bad! I corrected my writing error. Try again. And if you don't want your text format to disappear, drop the parameter nofilter.

Yes, it shortens the description, but there is no read more button so that the user can read further content.

Bonjour,

 

C'est possible mais demande de modifier le thême classic d'origine:

- via CSS pour limiter l'affichage par défaut du bloc de la description  (propriétés "max-height" et "overflow")

- via javascript  d'avoir un bouton/lien qui change les propriétés CSS du bloc ci-dessus pour les désactiver
