Short description above full

Ian · #1 02-11-2005, 11:59 PM

I am trying to get the short description to display right above the full description when a visitor looks at a product. I am sure I found it in the forum a long time ago but can't find it now. The forum only seems to let you look at the first page of results anyway

Has anyone managed to do this?

Thanks

I assume you are talking about product.tpl (the detailed products template). You will need to remove the if statement. Try replacing this:

Code:

{if $product.fulldescr ne ""}{$product.fulldescr}{else}{$product.descr}{/if}

with this

Code:

{$product.descr}
{$product.fulldescr}

What if I needed both short and long description on the list of products in a category page, what do i edit?

products.tpl for single column display, products_t.tpl for multi-column.

i tried to edit it like this but did not work

{$products[product].descr|truncate:300:"...":true}

{$products[product].fulldescr|truncate:300:"...":true}

Did not work meaning it didn't display or it caused an error?
