Then the code will display the text before the separation in the short description and the other one in the description.

Then in the product edition page, you will be able to fill the content of this custom field. Then edit the view "product / show_default" and just use the following code to display the short description: Code: <?php echo $this->element->YOUR_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME; ?> The following user(s) said Thank You: [Strumjan](/forum/user/29054-strumjan "View Strumjan's Profile"), [levelup](/forum/user/61801-levelup "View levelup's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI2LXByb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS84NzE3MjAtaG93LXRvLXNob3ctc2hvcnQtZGVzY3JpcHRpb24tb24tcHJvZHVjdC1sYXlvdXQ/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Strumjan](/forum/user/29054-strumjan "View Strumjan's Profile")** - [![Strumjan's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/29054-strumjan "View Strumjan's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/29054-strumjan) Less More - Posts: 4 - Thank you received: 0 - - [](http://joomla.mk) - 12 years 1 month ago [\#173106](#173106) by [Strumjan](/forum/user/29054-strumjan "View Strumjan's Profile") Replied by *[Strumjan](/forum/user/29054-strumjan "View Strumjan's Profile")* on topic *[How to show short description on product layout?](/forum/26-product-category-display/871720-how-to-show-short-description-on-product-layout#173106 "-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.pponlinestore.com/ -- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.2 -- Joomla version -- : 3.3.2 -- PHP version -- : 5.5.15 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : Google Chrome -- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : NA Hello, How to show a short product description on product page?

[ www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...-display.html#layout](https://www.hikashop.com/support/support/documentation/153-customize-the-display.html#layout) You have to be sure that your overriding the view for the right template. You can try to just put some raw HTML in order to know if you're editing the right view for the right template. HikaShop have several product page layout (default, tabular, inversed) so you first have to be sure that your targeting the right file.
