[SOLVED] Best seller block description

[babyewok]

If I use

{$product.description_short}

I see the short description in the best seller block. However, if I use

{$product.description|strip_tags|truncate:82:'...'}

No description is shown. I am trying to avoid the need to write the short description, so would like to just grab a snippet from the main description. This works elsewhere - why not for the best seller block?

Try to change in blockbestsellers.php line

$bestsellers = ProductSale::getBestSalesLight(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 0, 5);

to

$bestsellers = ProductSale::getBestSales(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 0, 5);

Light version of function doesn't get full description from database.

So then you can in tpl file you can use

$product.description
