-- HikaShop version -- : 2.4.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.1
-- PHP version -- : 5.4.22
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : all

I just purchased HikaShop and did the products -> import to bring in everything from MijoShop (ugh). After doing so, there are several issues, the biggest of which is that all the product descriptions are shown as the raw HTML. For example, paragraph brackets, etc.

How do I change this to show the formatted or plain text descriptions?

Hi,

I don't see why that would happen, but you can edit the file "show_default" via the menu Display>views and change the code :
$this->element->product_description
to :
html_entity_decode($this->element->product_description)
which should fix the issue.

Hello, thanks for the response. Unfortunately, this:

$this->element->product_description

does not appear in that file.

Hi,

The "$this->element->product_description" is in the view "product | show_default" ; there is no other way to display the product description in the product page.
Here the full line that you can find in the view

echo JHTML::_('content.prepare',preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>#i','',$this->element->product_description));

Ah, thanks. The problem was that the usual <control-F> in a browser to do a search doesn't find anything in that window. I searched manually, found it, fixed it.

Thanks!
