PHP Notice: Undefined index: description in

I did an upgrade from 1.5.5.1 to 1.5.6 but now I get errors in the log of, I know it seems theme related however I wound think the variable is actually correct? Can anyone spot what may be wrong here or even better how to resolve it?

I have already reported this issue in the bug reports of the forum. The issue is the way the description with one or many database tables are not quoted during queries.

cheers for clarifying this - any eta for a fix - or could I fix it temporarily myself assuming this applies to all 1.5.6* versions?

A temporary fix will be posted shortly.

upgraded to 1.5.6.2 error no longer exists ... but description isn't shown as previously ...

the call for the description is:

<?php echo "<p>".mb_substr(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($product['description'])), 0, 90)."...</p>"; ?>

but only "..." is shown ... but it worked on a previous version just fine ...

I have the same problem, and I found the solution, is easy. find /catalog/controller/module/featured.php and add

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

in the data['products'][] array as I show you below

$this->data['products'][] = array(
'product_id' => $product_info['product_id'],
'thumb' => $image,
'name' => $product_info['name'],
'description' => $product_info['description'],
'price' => $price,
'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'])
);

in my case this works in the 50% because now I see that php tag_strips it is not working in featured.tpl

<?php echo utf8_substr( strip_tags(strip_tags($product['description'])),0,85);?>

the result is next:

<p>This sleeveless top will help you stay cool and classy on those hotter days ...

I'will fix this problem as fast as I can

Finally I change featured.tpl in your theme in the description location

<p><?php echo mb_substr( strip_tags(html_entity_decode($product['description'])),0,85);?>...</p>
