Product Descriptions missing

Hi folks.
Anyone have an idea on how to get product descriptions to show?
I can get the product ID and image.... but not the description.
See here for what I mean here.
http://www.ksp.co.nz/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_5

Beside each image the description should show. It used to on the old site (created by someone else) but not on this. I had to upgrade after getting hacked (and figure out what the hell he had done when installing the original site) and sort of rebuild alot of it.

Hope I'm making myself clear.

Cheers, Mike

Re: Product Descriptions missing

What value, (if any) have you applied to:

ADMIN>>>CONFIGURATION>>>PRODUCT LISTING...

"Display Product Description"

?

Re: Product Descriptions missing

The "Display product description" is set to 1. Have been through every option I can find, but having no success in getting them to show. I'm losing my hair way to fast to risk pulling it out! :huh:

Re: Product Descriptions missing

Instead of a value of "1", try using a value of "100"

Re: Product Descriptions missing

ADMIN>>>CONFIGURATION>>>PRODUCT LISTING... Display Product Description.

The edit frame says:
**
Display Product Description
Please make any necessary changes

Display Product Description
Do you want to display the Product Description?

0= OFF
150= Suggested Length, or enter the maximum number of characters to display**

... So I'm confused about you only having 0 or 1 as options... :huh:

Re: Product Descriptions missing

Sorry, was looking in the wrong area. Also, whoever made the site originally called things differently. I have the descriptions working now. (He called them "product name") frustrating.
Now, maybe you could help me on one more thing. I need to swap the description/name coloumns with the price/buy now. any ideas?
Thanks for all your help! :smile:
