Short description in 50 characters

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.4
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6.2

Hi,

I modified the Display-->Views --> product / listing_img_title and added a new raw with:
<?php echo preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>.*#is','',$this->row->product_description); ?>

But many product have a long description.

Is there any solution to display on the 50 char from the description?

Hi,

I modified and changed the products/show_default with the following, but without any affects:

<div id="hikashop_product_description_main" class="hikashop_product_description_main">
<?php
    //DISPLAY the product description
    echo substr(JHTML::_('content.prepare',preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>#i','',$this->element->product_description)),0,50);
?>
</div>

I made wrong, but I'm confused with that link what you wrote.

This works but not the first 50 char

echo JHTML::_('content.prepare',preg_replace('#.*<hr *id="system-readmore" */>#is','',$this->row->product_description));

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

echo substr(JHTML::_('content.prepare',preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>#i','',$this->element->product_description)),0,50);

Because I don't know the exact operation of each HikaShop, and my PHP knowledge is basic, I can't modify alone the source code. I can cook with what I find in the forum...

Then there is no solution to display the fist 50 char of pruduct description from row without insert a readmore into the description?

Hi,

Thank you, with the third one and with the row->product_description it works, thx.
