Hello everyone,
I've noticed that the default short product description cutoff in the category view on my VM2 installation has gotten a lot shorter than it was in 1.1.9. Is this something to do with my template, or can someone point me to how I can enlarge it? It cuts off at about 40 characters, and is way too short for me. Thanks!
Aaron
In the file ...\components\com_virtuemart\views\category\tmpl\default.php
around line 240: <?php echo shopFunctionsF::limitStringByWord($product->product_s_desc, 40, '...') ?>
But if you want to customize this view, use a renamed copy of 'default.php' to work with, i.e 'mydefault.php. Otherwise it will be overwritten, when you update to newer versions.
Ok, this solves one of my issues with "short description". There's something else, however for which I didn't want to open a new discussion. I need to style the text a bit there. Nothing fancy, just header and info beneath - couple od lines. I noticed I can't apply any HTML rules on the short descriptions...some ideas will be really helpful.
