ARRRGGHHH Help me get rid of this damn text!!

[malkers]

Hiya folks.

 

Trying to get our new shop loaded with stock and up and running but have just one hitch that is getting the better of me and driving me potty.

 

On our home page where you can see all the latest products, below each pic is showing the title text but also a great lump of the descriptive text which i wish to be invisible until a customer enters the listing!

 

I've searched this whole site, looked at lots of other peoples shops and can't seem to find anyone having the same problems as me!

 

Any help would be most appreciated!

 

Regards

Malc

can you post your catelog/includes/modules/new_products.php ?

[Scorpion Cart]

try admin/configuration/product listing/display product description and set this to zero

 

if you have this installed that is

It seems you posted the same issue about couple of weeks ago. I thought you'd sorted it. I did a mock up but can remember the details now :(

Is this what you want or nearly:

Hmm, don't appear to have that in the list.

 

I'll try to figure out how to post the php, be right back!

 

Thanks

Hi Ken

 

Not exactly, I just want the title which is the bit down to and including the product code in brackets. All the other text you can see there is in the description which is what I don't want to show as it looks messy!

 

Mind bogging stuff but I appreciate the help!

Erm, sorry to seem dim but no idea how to find what you are asking me to find here?

Whatever you want, it'd be do-able. Some hacking into the relevant code module(s) may be needed, though. You are using a template, Arent you?

Just wanting to see the code for the file: new_products.php. the path is catelog/includes/modules/new_products.php. just copy the contents and paste them here within code brackets. like this

[code] your pasted code [ /code]

with no space in the ending bracket

This should be the bit you are after Bill (I am Malkers other half, the one who asked the question originally but got no real reply) if you can help!

 

TIA

Ok try deleting this code:

			  <span>'.$description['products_description'].'</span></p>

this will (should)get rid of the details leaving the product name the price, the link that says details, and the add to cart. if you want to remove the last two delete this

<a class="red" href="'.tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']).'">Details</a> | 
'. tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $new_products['products_id']) . tep_image_submit('add.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART) .'<b>

See if that works.
