How to enable short description in category page

Hi everyone,

I have one question about how to enable product short description in category page. By default there is only picture, name, price, tax and stock level. By I really need short description too because it is very important for me.

Thanks for help.

HI,
it needs a little category view customization (modification in php files).
Are you talking about, for example, this view: http://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/storebo ... en-s-polos


p.s.
Are you really need VM, maybe K2 will be good enough to present a view of catalog.

Our template overrides default VM template, here: templates\gk_storebox\html\com_virtuemart

If you want to add short description under product picture add this code :

Code: Select all

<span class="product_s_desc">
<?php echo shopFunctionsF::limitStringByWord ($product->product_s_desc, 40, '...') ?>
</span>

inside this file: templates\gk_storebox\html\com_virtuemart\category\default.php

If I may suggest, choose line 201 after "<?php endif; ?> "

Result (I have tested this)

thank you many times for your help, this is what I exactly wanted to know

Thanks,
That will help me too.
