Re: short description for three columns
When you move to a column display the template changes from
skin1/customer/main/products.tpl to skin1/customer/main/products_t.tpl So you need to edit this template accordingly. If you look at the first template, you will find the bits of code you need - in this case you want: {$products[product].descr|truncate:300:"...":true} So put that in where you need it.

Re: short description for three columns
If you are familiar with HTML, then you can cut and paste the entire tpl code into dreamweaver (or other wysiwyg editor) and you can see the general layout of where everything is placed. Open a new html file, switch to "code view" locate the <body> </body> tags and paste between them. Now you can switch to "design view" to see the general layout.
You won't view the actual page or any of the CSS edits, but you will see where you need to place the code. Be careful not to break any other code when you place the smarty tag, and use the "code view" to place the tag. Remember to only copy your tpl code when pasting back into your tpl file. Also Dreamweaver has a nasty habit of adding extra spaces and hard returns. You'll want get rid of any "tabbing" dreamweaver does.

Re: short description for three columns
Wanted to do this aswell in 4.2 and after some failures found this works:
<p class="descr">{$product.descr}</p> I got it to display under the SKU code at the top of the item by adding it below: {if $config.Appearance.display_productcode_in_list eq "Y" && $product.productcode} <div class="sku">{$lng.lbl_sku}: {$product.productcode|escape}</div> {/if} Hope that helps others on 4.2 |
