Product description in new products listing

Hi all,

how to change the length of product description in new products listing.
I want it longer more than 150 words.

Thanks:smile:

Admin->Configuration->Product Listing->Display Product Description> 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

DrByte:

Admin->Configuration->Product Listing->Display Product Description

Thanks for reply,DrByte.
I tried that setting before,
it doesn't effect on New Products Listing.

Then use the same setting under Admin->Configuration->New Listing

The Configuration > New Listing page doesn't have that option, only on/off (1/0).

Display Product Description
Please make any necessary changes

Display Product Description
Do you want to display the Product Description - First 150 characters?
0= off
1= on

Cancel

Ajeh described several months ago how to add the variable functionality into new/all/featured listings, and said that it would be built into v1.3.8.

Oops ... I was looking at 1.3.8 when I answered that question ... sorry :blush:

DrByte, I want that 1.3.8 to test drive ^^.

so,no other way to change the setting in 1.3.7?

edit your custom tpl_modules_products_new_listing.php file
find this, and change the 150 to whatever you like:```
$display_products_description = stripslashes(zen_trunc_string($disp_text, [B]150[/B], '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($products_new->fields['products_id']), 'products_id=' . $products_new->fields['products_id']) . '"> ' . MORE_INFO_TEXT . '</a>'));

Thanks a lot~~DrByte
