Product short description not showing in product-list

[Ray UK]

Hi,

Ive been trying for a while to get the product short description to show in the product listing with no joy.

I have tried the following codes:

		<p>{$product_name}</p>
		<span>{$product_description_short nofilter}</span>
		<span>{$product_description nofilter}</span>
		<span>{$product.description_short nofilter}</span>
		<span>{$product.description nofilter}</span>

The product name is working fine, but none of the descriptions are showing anything.

Is there a class or something that needs editing to show this information.

Im using Prestashop 1.7.7.5

Thanks

Hi,

What file are you editing? Code below works for me. I placed it in /catalog/_partials/miniatures/product.tpl

{$product.description_short nofilter}
{$product.description nofilter}

 

There is a chance that you have multiple product miniatures files and you are editing wrong one

Hi Piotr,

Its a module that uses a custom hook inside the product-list.tpl

I have just looked in the module and found that I have to declare the variable in there.

$this->smarty->assign(array(
                    'product_name' => $product->name,
                    'product_desc' => $product->description_short

$this->smarty->assign(array(
                    'product_name' => $product->name,
                    'product_desc' => $product->description_short

This seems to have done the trick. I just thought the {$product.description nofilter} would work inside the module but it didnt.
