Is there a way to edit the way the product description is displayed when viewing a product in either a category or as a featured product?

It seems that all punctuation from a product listing is discarded when displayed in these two areas.

See below:

You mean you want to display the description of products in category like description in product detail page?
I think I can make a OCMOD to implement it.

Yes, it currently displays the product with no punctuation and it doesn't make sense to the customer. :-/

Hi - Thanks for the fix.

I'm sorry but I'm new to OpenCart so I'm not sure what I need to do with the XML file.

Could you help me?

Many thanks

Sure :)
You can go to Admin > Extensions > Extension Installer > click on Upload button to upload the xml extension that I have attached in previous post to install.
After that go to Admin > Extensions > Modifications and click on Refresh button.

You can take a look at Extension Installer in detail here: http://www.opencarthow.com/extension-in ... pencart-2/

Wow thnx!
I was looking for this also :)
Can you tell me if it's possible to adjust the max. characters in preview?
Now the boxes are too big and not equal sized

Yes, you can edit the xml file and replace all occurrences of 100 with your max number.

I'm a new user of OpenCart ..
So I don't understand some things ..

I edited the original file and would like to upload that file ..
But the system gives me (sounds logical) the error that the ID is in use ..

Before uploading I disabled your Mod. But don't know how to remove it ..

Didn't like it that much :P

Now back to the original theme .. it's much beter :) I'm very grateful thnx :)

There's a slight strange thingy .. I changed the values to 60 instead of 100, but the strange this is this:

Could you attach your modified xml here, so I can take a look at it?

Hi,

Thanks in advance
