Are you typing the same phrases again and again in your product descriptions? You can streamline this process and make it easier to change these strings down the road if you use my Boilerplate mod. It’s a free download from

with help and instructions.

Now this will come in handy, I’ve been spending ages trying to perfect my wording on a paragraph that goes on about 10 different products because I don’t want to have to go back and change them all. This will definitely help!

Glad you like it! I may do something similar for CMS pages – not quite sure yet.

Installed it, just not quite sure where the line of code should go in the product.php file. I tried both before and after the first bracket

public    function __construct($id_product = NULL, $full = false, $id_lang = NULL)
Boilerplate::doBoilerPlate($this, $id_lang); 
    {
    
        parent::__construct($id_product, $id_lang);
        if ($full AND $this->id)
        {
            $this->manufacturer_name = Manufacturer::getNameById(intval($this->id_manufacturer));
            $this->supplier_name = Supplier::getNameById(intval($this->id_supplier));
            $tax = new Tax(intval($this->id_tax), intval($id_lang));
            $this->tax_name = $tax->name;
            $this->tax_rate = floatval($tax->rate);
            $this->new = $this->isNew();
        }
        $this->category = Category::getLinkRewrite(intval($this->id_category_default), intval($id_lang));
        $this->tags = Tag::getProductTags($this->id);
    }

Thanks,

End of function before last bracket. Right after the call to getProductTags.

seems to break with long bits of code. I erased my en.php mod and the page loaded again. Maybe what I am trying to do is not possible with this.

Something like this:


"<p><span style="font-size: small;">

has no hope of working. Be sure to escape inner quotes. It’s best to use single quote to wrap the string, and double quote inside, escaping as required.

I knew it had to do something with the quotes within the quotes deal, just did not know you could replace the double quotes with single quotes Works like a charm now!

Thanks again,

Hi,
Is it possable to get this to work on prestashop v1.1 ?, It is something that I could use (for short description box text), so I am willing to donate to get it to work.

Or does anybody know of another way I can do this

All the best,
Cerberus22

Hope all is well.

Any chance of getting this to work on the short descriptions also or other parts of the website?

Keep up the great work!
