[hondauser85]

How can i add the product description on the front page where my new products added and my featured products are? Also how can i extend the product title length if you look some of the tiltes are long and they get cut off where can i adjust this? www.wonderfultoyz.com

EDIT: WARNING: Adult Site ...

The easiest method would be to use a function to get this:

zen_get_products_description($product_id, $_SESSION['languages_id']) 

Note: due to the nature of products_description field and its contents it is best cleaned before displaying it ...

zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($products_id, $_SESSION['languages_id']))), 150) 

Where products_id would be the known products_id where you are trying to display the products description ...

And example would be on the:
/includes/modules/new_products.php

copy to your templates and overrides directory:
/includes/modules/your_template_dir/new_products.php

Find the line for:

    'text' => (($new_products->fields['products_image'] == '' and PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE_STATUS == 0) ? '' : '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products->fields['products_image'], $new_products->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_HEIGHT) . '</a><br />') . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products->fields['products_name'] . '</a><br />' . $products_price); 

And change to:

    'text' => (($new_products->fields['products_image'] == '' and PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE_STATUS == 0) ? '' : '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products->fields['products_image'], $new_products->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_HEIGHT) . '</a><br />') . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products->fields['products_name'] . '</a><br />' . $products_price . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($new_products->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), 150));

did not work.....Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in /home/wonderf/public_html/includes/modules/new_products.php on line 1

Check around line 1 for spaces, blank lines, missing <?php ... or other assorted errors ...

Or, start again ... you have a typo ...

i copied exactly what you said to replace with>

'text' => (($new_products->fields['products_image'] == '' and PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE_STATUS == 0) ? '' : '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products->fields['products_image'], $new_products->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_HEIGHT) . '</a><br />') . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products->fields['products_name'] . '</a><br />' . $products_price . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($new_p roducts->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), 150));

To make sure that there is no confusion, here is the code with the code before and after it:

    $products_price = zen_get_products_display_price($new_products->fields['products_id']);

    $new_products->fields['products_name'] = zen_get_products_name($new_products->fields['products_id']);
    $list_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('params' => 'class="centerBoxContentsNew centeredContent back"' . ' ' . 'style="width:' . $col_width . '%;"',
    'text' => (($new_products->fields['products_image'] == '' and PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE_STATUS == 0) ? '' : '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products->fields['products_image'], $new_products->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_HEIGHT) . '</a><br />') . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products->fields['products_name'] . '</a><br />' . $products_price);

    $col ++; 

This is changed to:

    $products_price = zen_get_products_display_price($new_products->fields['products_id']);

    $new_products->fields['products_name'] = zen_get_products_name($new_products->fields['products_id']);
    $list_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('params' => 'class="centerBoxContentsNew centeredContent back"' . ' ' . 'style="width:' . $col_width . '%;"',
    'text' => (($new_products->fields['products_image'] == '' and PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE_STATUS == 0) ? '' : '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products->fields['products_image'], $new_products->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_HEIGHT) . '</a><br />') . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products->fields['products_name'] . '</a><br />' . $products_price . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($new_products->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), 150));

    $col ++;
