    Default Turn Off Htmlarea

    I want to turn off htmlarea. I went to admin / Configuration / My Store / HTML Editor and selected Plain Text from the dropdown, but htmlarea is still there when I try to describe a product. I have cleared my cache as suggested somewhere in one of these threads, but it did not work. When I try to edit a product description, the same box shows up.

    At least I think it is htmlarea. It looks very similar to this box we use to compose messages on this board. It doesn't work for me and I just want to make my html elsewhere and upload it as text.

    Please advise.

    After setting this logoff the admin and then back in and you should be good - it is a session thing and you need to regenerate the session.

    Well, that didn't actually do it, but what did was finally noticing that there is an additional dropdown box on the product description! When I change that to Plain Text, it works.

    Thanks for your help, kobra.

    Actually, that dropdown I found is in admin / Catalog / Categories/Products

    The dropdowns around the Admin are for setting things while working ...

    The default setting is to preset when you sign in to the Admin and create your new session for the day ...

    You might check in admin > my Store > HTML Editor > and see what is set there

    My new problem is that when I search for a word used in the product description, the product title appears but beneath it is the code I used to style that product.

    I need to have it either give only the product title, or give the first few words of the actual description, not the first few words of the style coding.

    My new problem is that when I search for a word used in the product description
    Searching with what and from where? The front end search or in the admin?

    Searching from the front end, like a customer might.

    Can someone help me to comment out the proper part of the following so that listingDescription does not function? I think that would solve the problem, because that shortened version of the product description would not appear on searches.

    PHP Code:
    includes/modules/product_listing.php
    Line 
    #97 : $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>' ; 

    Line #99 : $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? 'cPath=' . $_GET['cPath'] . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>'; 
    I tried but I got an error because I never know how to comment out something.
