Had to replace the tep_flatten_product_description function as follows:


function tep_flatten_product_description($description, $link)
{
$description = ereg_replace('<[^>]*>', '', $description);
if (strlen($description) > PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION_MAX_LENGTH){

$description = substr($description, 0, PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION_MAX_LENGTH);
$description .= "...".$link;
}else {
$description .= $link;
}
return $description;
}


More information for this:

Seems the explode statement not always worked and if the description was shorter than PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION_MAX_LENGTH
would not append the link info.

No files attached

Hi,
this is my first contribution, so sorry for any unusual behaviou.

so if you still don´t know how to fix this small problem with the products_new.php

you just have to change one line in the products_new file.

This module will add a short description of the product when listing
products.

It is based on the product description field of the products_description
table. The string represented the product description does not include
any HTML tags : all HTML tages are stripped in order to avoid displaying
invalid HTML codes.

The product description displayed used the stylesheet class 'productDesc'.
This class will be added in your stylesheet.css file and you can customize
it to follow your graphic chart.
