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:

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

with this

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

Thank you very much, that did the trick in a second.

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

[balinor]

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?

[Dorette]

did not display anything
