[1.5.1][solved] Echo Description Fatal Error - Box Products

Is it possible to use a code like this $product['price'] in the featured products template (featured.tpl) so that it displays the description along with the price and title of the product.

I've tried using this function but it comes up with a fatal error. I'm sure that there must be a simple solution to my problem.

Helps much appreciated.

Yes it is. But first you need to to modify the controller of the featured products.

Open catalog/controller/module/featured.php

After the line:

'name' => $product_info['name'],

Add the following line

'description' => substr(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($product_info['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')), 0, 100) . '..',

You can modify it's size by raisng the number of characters (as you see now is 100).

Thanks alot!
