Short Product Description

[Redrosemobility]

Hi,

Hoping someone might be able to help me with this. I want to put a short product description below each product in the list, but want to limit the length of the description shown, and then maybe have a "read more" button or similar for the customers to follow. Is there an existing way within Bluepark to do this?

Regards

Matt

not sure, have never tried this! would page break work, using the editor?

I do the same thing (on blogger) using that!

For the "Read More" you would have to add code to the Custom HTML in your Template - Product List Multi Column.

That's just text but you could use an image.

e.g.

<div align="center" style="width: 100%">
[IF product_image]<p><a href="%product_link">%product_image</a></p>[/IF]
<p>
<a href="%product_link"><b>%product_title</b></a>
[IF product_price]<span class="gap">%product_price</span>[/IF]
[IF product_add]<span class="gap_button">%product_add</span>[/IF]
[COLOR=#ff0000][B]<br>
<a href="%product_link"><b>More Info</b></a>
<br>
[/B][/COLOR]</p>
[IF product_description]%product_description[/IF]
[IF product_compare]<p>%product_compare</p>[/IF]
</div>

The short description is meant to be just that...SHORT! Keep it short and sweet. You can still use the code above from Red Devil to make it obvious to the shopper they need to click on the "more info" text link to visit the product page. Some of us on here display a more info button instead of a text link.

Thanks for your advice. What I was hoping to do was have the same text as the main item description underneath each image in the products list, but have it automatically limited to a set number of characters, and then display "more info" for them to click into the product. Maybe it would be something that I would have to do in excel and then import it in?
