Thanks")* Hi, The importation question is : where you do you want to display the product description exactly ? Before the price ? Before the vote ? Before the add to cart ? at the bottom ? For example, if you want to display it at the bottom, you just have to paste the code that Nicolas gave you ; at the bottom of the code you pasted ; in order to have something like that: Code: <!-- EO COMPARISON AREA --> <?php if(!empty($this->row->extraData->bottom)) { echo implode("\r\n",$this->row->extraData->bottom); } ?> <?php echo preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>.*#is','',$this->row->product_description); ?> Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

Thanks")* Hello, I think you use an **Item Custom field** and create an override view, you need to have html & php knowledge, follow these steps : - First, go to **Components** => **HikaShop** => **Configuration** - Then in **Display** dropdown select **Custom fields** - Click on **New** - Reproduce this settings : [ ![itemCField.png](/forum/attachment/39123) ](/forum/attachment/39123 "itemCField.png") And add your custom code in order to have your custom field display on your listing view : - Define which listing **type** you use among **listing**, **div** or **tabular** - Go in your **Main HikaShop Configuration** part (like previous) - On **Display** dropdown this time select **Views** - Use **3** filter dropdown with **Product**/***YourTemplate***/**Front end** - Select your required among listing_**div**, listing_**list** or listing_**table** - Add where required this code to display your custom field : Code: echo($this->row->prod_desc); Just be sure to be **in** the block that start with : Code: <div class="hikashop_subcontainer <?php echo $this->borderClass; ?>"> , around line **125** and before this command : Code: unset($this->row); . And to see how to proceed, see [ **this tutorial**](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/153-customize-the-display.html). After this you will have to full your custom field directly in your product backend configuration. Hope this will help you to achieved what you wants.

Thanks")* Hi, There is no setting for that. You need to use custom code to strip the value of the custom field to 2 lines like you want. The simplest would be to do something like that: <?php echo preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>.*#is','',$this->row->prod_desc); ?> and add a read more tag in your custom field editor where you want the cut to be done. Please understand that custom coding like that is outside of the user support we provide. We've already gave you all the necessary information to know how to do it if you're a developer. If you're not a developer, we have partners you can contact for such custom development job: [ www.hikashop.com/home/our-partners.html](https://www.hikashop.com/home/our-partners.html) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzMyNjc3LXNob3J0LWRlc2NyaXB0aW9uLWF0LXRoZS1wcm9kdWN0LWxpc3RpbmdzP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
