well what we did,


1. Configuration>Main tab , the Read more set to Yes

2. we add the code

echo '<a href="'.$link.'">Read more</a>';

after the line:
echo preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>.*#is','',$this->row->product_description);

at product / listing_img_desc.php

3.at the product description we use the <hr id="system-readmore" />


no luck with the changes above.

For 2., are you sure that you did the modification for the correct template ? If you have several templates on your website, you might have done it for another template than the one you're using.
Also, please make sure that you're using the "image and description" item box layout on your menu/module's hikashop options.

Well, you can but where do you want to should the full description then ?
There is no point in writing a complete description if you never display the part after the read more tag...

You have two solutions then,
Either you put your long description as a joomla article and you put the link to the article in the URL link of the product so that the user will be able to click on that link in order to see the article; or you can modify the file show of the view product via the menu Display->Views in order to add some HTML/PHP/javascript in order to dynamically display the long description but that will require quite some knownledge.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to set it to show the first paragraph before the "Read more>>" section. I have got it working on the "Product Listing page but I am having an issue getting to show just the first paragraph and the "Add to Cart" link.

Below is the code I am using:

                <div id="hikashop_product_description_main_mini" class="hikashop_product_description_main_mini">

		<?php
		$resume = substr(strip_tags(preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>#is','',$this->row->product_description)),0,500);

		$resume .= "...<a href='$link'>See more</a>";

		echo JHTML::_('content.prepare',$resume);

		?>

	</div>

This allows it to use the first 500 characters but I would like it to show the first <p> </p> tag of each product.

Thanks,
Shawn :S

You should use that code:

$resume = preg_replace('#</p>.*#is','',$this->row->product_description);

Try like that:
$resume = preg_replace('#</p>.*#is','</p>',$this->row->product_description);

Hi,

This is probably due to "substr" which return a part of a string but it can too cut a character so it return this symbol because the character is not complete.
I think that the function "mb_substr" allow you to avoid that.

Hi,

There is no reason the button would display on the desktop and not on your smartphone unless you have custom CSS code to hide the button in such case.
And without a link, we can't analyze the page and tell you anything more precise about that.
