The template files for modules are found in the directory called "catalog/view/theme/default/template/module". Remove the following (line 9):
Code: Select all
<p><?php echo $product['description']; ?></p>
from the following template files:
- bestseller.tpl
featured.tpl
latest.tpl
special.tpl
You'll also find the same line of code in the following template files found in "catalog/view/theme/default/template/product".
- category.tpl
compare.tpl
manufacturer_info.tpl
product.tpl
search.tpl
special.tpl
Removing this line from product.tpl will not remove the product description, only remove it from any related products.

The space is a result of a minimum height being applied to the product box in the stylesheet (catalog/view/theme/default/stylesheet/stylesheet.css).
The following block of code, found at lines 549 to 552, defines the minimum height:
Code: Select all
.product-grid .product-thumb .caption {
min-height: 210px;
padding: 0 10px;
}
Just reduce the "min-height" attribute to something more suitable.

Hi fido-x.
I'm also trying to remove this description from category view. Tell me, do I have to remove line <p><?php echo $product['description']; ?></p> from all those .tpl files> It sounds logical to remove it only from category.tpl as category view is the only view I want the description to disappear from. However when I remove this line category.tpl nothing happens

Hello,
I Don't want to remove the discription but I want to make it custom. Now it takes the fist few karakters of the product discription. I want a custom made discription, it would be ideal when I can write it on a new added form on the product page.

I removed that annoying description another way, I edited the controller files. Should I not have done it that way?
Replace
Code: Select all
'description' => utf8_substr(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($product_info['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')), 0, $this->config->get('config_product_description_length')) . '..',
with
Code: Select all
'description' => (int) $this->config->get('config_product_description_length') == 0 ? '' : utf8_substr(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($product_info['description'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')), 0, $this->config->get('config_product_description_length')) . '..',
in
catalog\controller\product
category.php
product.php
search.php
and
catalog\controller\module
latest.php
featured.php
bestseller.php

Hi there,
I made mistake. Every time change core files, and after that in admin panel > extensions > modifications make refresh.
Because next time when you do this all changes, made only in /system/ folders will be lost.

You may wanna try adding the code back to the place from where you removed. Maybe follow the second post by fido-x and add the script[instead of removing it

].
