how to add a link in product's short description

[miradoro]

Hi

 

I am trying to add a link on product's short description area

For some reason the link does not work

 

 <a class="button" href="http://www.google.com">link 1</a></p> is what i have

 

But for some strange reason the link becomes just text.

 

These are my settings:

Prestashop Version: 1.4.8.2

Server information: Linux #1 SMP Mon Oct 7 16:41:57 EDT 2013 i686

Server software Version: Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat)

PHP Version: 5.3.13

MySQL Version: 5.0.95

I think i fixed it

 

i removed escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8' from {$product.description_short|truncate:460:'...'}

 

it did the trick.....why do have that restriction anyways? 

 

All it does is developers to start hating it and go away....anyways i think it will do the trick
