Removing Product description from front page only?

**tilenk** · 1 Oct 2009, 11:35 AM

Hello, eveyone.

I'm using the latest version of ZenCart, with a cusom template, and I have a question regarding removing the products description:

Is it possible to REMOVE the products description only from the front side? So that when people arriving on the front site, they can see the Product's title and picture, but no further description?

I uploaded the picture for the better understanding of my question here, hope it will help.

Regards n' thanks,

Tilen

so nobody has the same issues?

Is perhaps this what you are looking for:

Admin control panel/Configuration/Product Listing:

Display Product Description

If you insert the value 0 instead of the default (150?), this should remove the product description from the front page I believe.

Do you want the product description to show on every page except the home page? Add to your stylesheet

#indexHomeBody .listingDescription {display: none;}

This will work for a standard Zen Cart installation; if it does not work for you, post a link to your site so we can test it live.

Thanks for response, guys :)

The solution from mr. gjh42 works, but now instead of a description, there's three dots under every title on the front site ... Check it HERE (that's the website I'm talking about).

That's why a link to see a site live is so much better than a screenshot - we can see what class tags and stylesheet rules apply to your case. Aside from not being the product listing, you have a Template Monster template which uses different names for a lot of elements. Try

#indexHomeBody .centerBoxContentsNew .text {display: none;}

Hello.

Yes, it's a template from TemplateMonster.com ... and the second tag didn't change anything, i tried with putting it to stylesheet.css and stylesheet_main.css but nothing happened.

actually, now even the first tag you suggested (#indexHomeBody .listingDescription {display: none;} doesn't work anymore.. it keeps showing the full product description on front page :) :) ..something strange is going on with my script, I think... :)

I assumed your template used a recent version of Zen Cart, but the version you have doesn't include the code to distinguish the home page from other index pages. TM must have used an older version of /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_main_page.php. This works when added to any stylesheet

.centerBoxContentsNew .text {display: none;}

but will also affect other pages.

You should be able to add the "home page" code to your template copy of the file. Find this line near the top:

PHP Code:


?>
<body id="<?php echo $body_id . 'Body'; ?>"<?php if($zv_onload !='') echo ' onload="'.$zv_onload.'"'; ?>>

and add
$body_id = ($this_is_home_page) ? 'indexHome' : str_replace('_', '', $_GET['main_page']);
above it to get

PHP Code:


  $body_id = ($this_is_home_page) ? 'indexHome' : str_replace('_', '', $_GET['main_page']);
?>
<body id="<?php echo $body_id . 'Body'; ?>"<?php if($zv_onload !='') echo ' onload="'.$zv_onload.'"'; ?>>

By the way, did TM say that this template was compatible with Zen Cart v1.3.8? If they did, you should contact them and demand that they fix the file, as it is a standard part of v1.3.8 that they have disabled.
