Hi
I want to display short description for products in the modules like featured, bestseller etc. How can I add it? I tried to fiddle around with the controller and tpl files but got a lot of undefined errors. I also tried to compare it with the category page to see if I could get some clues but couldn't solve it. I am not really a php programmer and my knowledge in that is really limited.
Could someone please help me? I am using OC1.5.1.3
Thanks!
Vimal.

Hi,
Open catalog/controler/module/special.php
on line 50 you will see an array replace it with this
now open catalog/view/theme/your-theme/template/module/special.tpl
look for this
right after this you put this
BTW if you follow the demo link below i made a live example you will also see my free random specials module in action.

Solved it. The array looks as below.
And in the template file.
Code: Select all
$this->data['products'][] = array(
'product_id' => $product_info['product_id'],
'thumb' => $image,
'name' => $product_info['name'],
'price' => $price,
'description' => substr(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($product_info['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')), 0, 100) . '..',
'special' => $special,
'rating' => $rating,
'reviews' => sprintf($this->language->get('text_reviews'), (int)$product_info['reviews']),
'href' => $this->url->link('product/product', 'product_id=' . $product_info['product_id']),
);Code: Select all
<?php echo $product['description']; ?>www.beeshop.se

Hi All,
Just realised that the code above for the array works for featured module only. For other modules,
Replace the line
with
difference being $result instead of $product_info
You can check in the array what is being used and use the same one.

Hi,
My code is solid but you are right that you would need a little ajustment for other modules.
