How can I import the vm1 product short description as I see that Hika Shop products don't have a short description? thanks, Jo")* Hi, HikaShop indeed doesn't have a short description. If you want one, you can create a custom field of the table "product" via the menu Display>Custom fields (Essential and Business editions only). Then, you'll have to run a query to get the short description from VM (or use some CSV export/import). And finally, you'll need to modify the views of HikaShop to display it where you want.

I can import the short description data via csv file and make a new column for the short description to be accepted. I'm not sure how to ****"modify the views of HikaShop to display it where you want."**** Can you please expand on that process? thanks, Jo Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI1LWluc3RhbGwtdXBkYXRlLzg3ODA3MS1ob3ctdG8taW5zZXJ0LXZtLXNob3J0LWRlc2NyaXB0aW9uP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Away](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86359 - Thank you received: 14293 - - 11 years 3 months ago [\#207983](#207983) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[How to insert vm short description?](/forum/25-install-update/878071-how-to-insert-vm-short-description#207983 "-- HikaShop version -- : 2.4.0 -- Joomla version -- : 3.2.3 -- PHP version -- : 5.5.21 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : google chrome 43.0.2357.124 m -- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : n/a I'm exporting date from vm1 into hika shop There is a product short description in vm1. How can I import the vm1 product short description as I see that Hika Shop products don't have a short description? thanks, Jo")* Hi, It depends how you configure your shop. With the standard product listing layout and assuming that you want to display the short description on the products listing page, you want to edit the file "listing_img_title" of the view "product" via the menu Display>Views and add such code: <?php echo $this->row->field; ?> where field is to be replaced with the column name of your custom field.
