MAnufacturers -Description and Short description-

[namelesshachi]

Using: Prestashop 1.4.7.0

 

Options? opinions or ideas how to do this?

 

 

I want the manufacturers page that show only the short description, then when clicked on the manufacturer, to show the products and the long description

 

I tried commenting out the description on the manufacturer list .tpl but short description never appearrs anyway...

 

thanks in advance for the tips! x)

Hey, you'll want to put this in your manufacturer.tpl file for full description:

 

{$manufacturer->description|escape:'':'UTF-8'}

 

Then, in your manufacturer-list.tpl, to have a short manufacturer description (I don't think there is a short description like there is for categories), you'll have to edit the truncate limit:

 

{$manufacturer.description|truncate:350}

 

change the 350 to whatever you like.

thank you!

there is a short description field for manufacturers, but, it doesn't really work, why? i actually have no idea (fail xD) (i've read other forums and people saying it doesn't appear, so im guessing some prestashop error)

 

but this solution works pretty good for what i need! i had come up wit something like that! thank u again!

Thank you statictic, it works perfectly!

 

I tried to modify the characters number in the class file "Manufacturer.php". (254 by default).

Saving is ok but after a refresh the extra characters are gone.

 

Does somebody know how to resolve that problem?

I kind of did this, but it's too ugly to show. :-/ What happens when I have to figure it out without help :-\

You may pm me, but I will not show my code here...

(And anyone who knows how to do it properly may very well explain it here)

Edit: I wrote a bit about it here
