Short description of the product

Hello,

I use the layout the "title and description" to display the list of product. I have short description next to the picture. I have to put the break tag to the each product in the description manualy to see the short description.

Is there any possibility how to put the this tag somewhrere directyl to php, and display let say first 150 symbols from the description of the product?
Our client doesn´t want to do that manualy.

Thanks for help.

Hi Nicolas,

thank you very much for your help.

I have stil some question. I know how to call the text which should appeare in this place.
But how can I say that will appear only firs x characters? Could you help me, please?

Now I have this:
<!-- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION -->
<div class="hikashop_product_desc" style="text-align:<?php echo $this->align; ?>">
<?php
echo $this->row->product_description;
?>
</div>
<!-- EO PRODUCT DESCRIPTION -->

Hi,

You'll be able to do it by using the "substr" php option :

<!-- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION -->
<div class="hikashop_product_desc" style="text-align:<?php echo $this->align; ?>">
<?php
echo substr($this->row->product_description, 0, 25);
?>
</div>
<!-- EO PRODUCT DESCRIPTION -->

Thank you very much for quick help.

The number at the end is clear to me.
