Hi Indicsoft. Did you ever find a solution for controlling where the product short descriptions are displayed and not displayed.

We can hack it out of the code by modifying some files, but since we're running multi-store I'd like to have a method to surpress the description depending on A) the store and B) the view (ie Category list, specials, featured, etc.)

Anyone have a suggested extension? We'll gladly buy one but we can find any.

This is a very simplistic solution. To remove the description from modules. By using a custom theme, simply find in your catalog/theme/<your_theme>/template/module folder each of the subject lines mentioned above with:

Code: Select all

<p><?php echo $product['description']; ?></p>
remove the line from each subjects. This should resolved the problem.

Thanks Straightlight. Worked fine for me.

I'm getting PHP Notice: Undefined index: description in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/vqmod/vqcache/vq2-system_modification_catalog_view_theme_default_template_product_category.tpl on line 100

PHP Notice: Undefined index: status in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/vqmod/vqcache/vq2-system_modification_catalog_controller_common_column_left.php on line 212

and a few others. Must have chopped a little deep!! At least it's working without the hideous descriptions!

Cheers.

VQCache errors are part of installed contributions from XML files. Not part of the core.
