Is there a way to have a long/short description ?

[Damainman]

I would like to provide full information on products in my shopping cart. However on the main cart page that lists all the products, having a long description doesn't look good and extends the page longer than it should be.

 

I would like to use a short description instead, and once the client clicks "Order Now" and is taken to the product page.. I want a full description there.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thank you.

hi,

you can crop the product description var in smarty with:

 

 

{$product.description|truncate:200:"..."}

{if strlen($product.description)>200}<a href="...THEMORELINK">read more</a>{/if}

 

There is still the question of what should be to point the link. Because there is no single information page, for Products.

Awesome thanks. Going to try it out tonight.
