More link on product listing page

[Three Sisters]

Sorry to bother you with such a basic question...

Somewhere I think I turned off a switch that would create a link (to the product info page) on the product listing page when the product description was truncated. After the truncation it would say ...more and now it doesn't.


Am I right or am I remembering wrong? I've been hunting for a while now. Please set me straight!

I realize this post is old, but did you ever have any luck figuring this out? I'm in the same boat and can't seem to find any info on solving it.
thanks

You could customize the products_listing module and build a:
... more info

link with the following:

          $lc_more = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id']) > 0 ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? $_GET['cPath'] : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . MORE_INFO_TEXT . '</a>';

Worked like a charm. Thanks Ajeh!

You are most welcome ... thanks for the update that this worked for you ...

Can you tell me where you put that code? Many thanks!

[Ajeh]

That code can go anywhere in the module for the products_listing that you would want to see the ... more info ...

I'm sorry Ajeh... I tried hard, but every time I try to add it the products won't display... I'm messing something up. Here's a link to my product listing page: http://www.threesistersfabric.com/fa...3-sisters-108/

The description is truncated by a "...". I'd like to add the "...more info" link, but I need a little more coaching. Thanks very much.

Did you add the new variable:
$lc_more

to where the current products_description is being displayed so that the new ... more info link shows?

[Three Sisters]

I think so.... (I've only dabbled with PHP since I started using Zen Cart, so I'm still not clear in my head as to what a variable is exactly. I'm going through a course, but haven't made all the connections mentally, if you know what I mean!)

I copied the code you gave above and tried to add it to line 137... Does it not belong somewhere within this:

<div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listi ng->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>' ;

I appreciate your patience. I really would like to learn this better!
