Is it possible to add text to this with after so many signs saying read more?
Or just how to let it display the text in general, but not on the front page?

Many thanks for your help and patience

Hi,

Yes it is possible, you have to edit the view "product / listing_table" and replace the in the column of the product name "$this-&gt;row-&gt;product_name" by "$this-&gt;row-&gt;product_description".

The edition can be done through the menu Display &gt; Views.
Here is some documentation:

thank you very much, but how do I now make it so that there is also the product name? and is it possible to cut off the description after a while?

see here how it looks now:
[ aedoszaden.nl/zaden-catalogus/category/12-bonen](http://aedoszaden.nl/zaden-catalogus/category/12-bonen)

compared to the picture I uploaded only product name need to be added, and perhaps the ... after so many signs but that is not essential

You can replace: Code:

&lt;td class="hikashop_product_name_row"&gt; &lt;span class="hikashop_product_name"&gt; &lt;?php if($this-&gt;params-&gt;get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?&gt; &lt;a href="&lt;?php echo $link;?&gt;"&gt; &lt;?php } echo $this-&gt;row-&gt;product_name; if($this-&gt;params-&gt;get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;?php } ?&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;?php if(!empty($this-&gt;row-&gt;extraData-&gt;afterProductName)) { echo implode("\r\n",$this-&gt;row-&gt;extraData-&gt;afterProductName); } ?&gt; &lt;/td&gt;

By: Code:

&lt;td class="hikashop_product_name_row"&gt; &lt;span class="hikashop_product_name"&gt; &lt;?php if($this-&gt;params-&gt;get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?&gt; &lt;a href="&lt;?php echo $link;?&gt;"&gt; &lt;?php } echo $this-&gt;row-&gt;product_name; echo '&lt;br/&gt;'.substr($this-&gt;row-&gt;product_name,0,200); // replace 200 by the desired length. if($this-&gt;params-&gt;get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;?php } ?&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;?php if(!empty($this-&gt;row-&gt;extraData-&gt;afterProductName)) { echo implode("\r\n",$this-&gt;row-&gt;extraData-&gt;afterProductName); } ?&gt; &lt;/td&gt;
