if you are talking about "product" short_description, you should be able to do that by default.

just click FONT color icon it will open text color to choose product editing page.

(At the end of second row of the icon list)

[robchef]

when i do that it still doesnt show on my site in colour it show just in black text even thought it shows colour in product short description backend just not on the website please help

I checked on 1.4.8, it works fine. what is your PretaShop version?

 

But for product list pages like category, because the theme strip off tag, it only show the text

 

If you want to show color (HTML), you need to make changes as following

 

Before changes

{$product.description_short|truncate:360:'...'|strip_tags:'UTF-8'}

 

After changes

{$product.description_short}

what folder do i need to be in to make changes to and i using prestashop verson 1.4.8.2

anybody there

[shokinro]

I think are you on the right file to change.

YourStoreRoot/themes/YourTheme/product-list.tpl

 

make sure you have set Smarty to Force Compile to reflect your changes.

 

Back office - Preferences tab - Performances tab

[robchef]

what do i need to change mate to make it work like im trying to do

[robchef]

i changed what you said and mad sure force compile on but my short product text still isnt allowing colour errr any ideas

[shokinro]

I tested this, it works fine if you made change correctly.
