descriptions not showing in new box on home

As in the title, the "new products for month" box in homepage displays title, and proce, but not the description.
In the configuration is set to 150 characters.
Site is:
cadante dot com

Thank you

Re: descriptions not showing in new box on home

Did you make any changes to /includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/new_products.php file recently?

Check that file to see if the products description code is there?

Should look something like this:

$products_description = zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($new_products->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION);

then further down in the same file should see something like this:

$products_description

Re: descriptions not showing in new box on home

Sorry for the delay in reply.

Friend says hasn't touched any file, I compared the live file with the copy I had, and they are the same.

Peculiarity is it behaves like that only on homepage, whereas if you go to the category i.e.
cadante dot com /i ndex.php?main_page=index&cPath=1
the description shows correctly.
