Short Description - Bug

[TomCavendish]

Using the short description contribution here:

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4452

 

When a product has no description, the word "Array" is displayed as the short description rather than nothing.

 

Anyone able to solve it?

well, 2 hours ago I had the same problem, couldn't find a solution and just replaced it with this contribution:

A few lines more to add, but works great.

Hello

 

The only solution I can find is this:

 

for example for new_products:

 

catalog/includes/modules/new_products.php

 

FIND this (the code of contribution of query):

 

$sql = 'SELECT `products_description` FROM `products_description` WHERE products_id ='.$new_products['products_id'].' && language_id='.(int)$languages_id;
$description_query = tep_db_query($sql);
$description = mysql_fetch_array($description_query, MYSQL_ASSOC);		
$description['products_description'] = substr($description['products_description'], 0, 100);
$desc_len = strlen($description['products_description']);
$description['products_description'][$desc_len-1] = '.';
$description['products_description'][$desc_len-2] = '.';
$description['products_description'][$desc_len-3] = '.';

 

 

ADD AFTER, this:

 

$description['products_description'] = ereg_replace("(Array)", "", $description['products_description']);

 

 

(this replace "Array" by "": no appear description, but then need change "read more" by "more info" or similar)

 

edit file:

 

catalog/includes/languages/english.php

 

 

define('DESCR_READ_MORE', '<FONT color=blue>read more</FONT>'); // ... read more.

 

REPLACE by:

 

define('DESCR_READ_MORE', '<FONT color=blue>more info +</FONT>'); // ... read more.

 

and for other lenguage: espanol: leer más. Replace by: más info

 

 

 

 

 

Then in all modificated files that add short description ADD AFTER query:

 

$description['products_description'] = ereg_replace("(Array)", "", $description['products_description']);

 

This "delete" the Array word for products without description

but I think other can do better to resolve it
