DOn't know if "read more" is going to be there, but it is a simple thing to try.

Is there another simple editor that you would recommend that works with HikaShop? Thank you")* In reading through this thread, I can see the issue of the Read More button with a normal product page. However, we are electing to use the Tabbed product layout on our client's site. With that layout, the product description appears to be displayed in full both up with the product image and then again down in the Description tab. While the "See More" link shows, it does not show where it should, instead always showing ofter 100% of the description text. Thus the Description tab is simply a repeat of the description. This also makes the description under the image too long in many cases. Is there any easy way to get the "See more" link to split the description text where desired? This would really help in the tabbed product view. (It is turned on in the Config.) Eg.

Guess my question no would be if there is any way to control how many lines to display with the image. Using the Read More system tag doesn't function, so wonder if there is a way to customize the Hikashop "See more" link.
