Read More Button Not Available

well what we did,


1. Configuration>Main tab , the Read more set to Yes

2. we add the code

echo '<a href="'.$link.'">Read more</a>';

echo preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>.*#is','',$this->row->product_description);

i can have the read more on modules for example on "latest products" i choose image and description.

but can i have the read more.. option on the product page?

i want the readmore because for some products i have 2-3 pages of description . i dont want to show direclty the looooong description. first i want to show to the iser only one paragraph.


what i have to change for that its not working now.

ok Nicolas thank you !

I was wondering if anyone knew how to set it to show the first paragraph before the "Read more>>" section. I have got it working on the "Product Listing page but I am having an issue getting to show just the first paragraph and the "Add to Cart" link.

Below is the code I am using:

                <div id="hikashop_product_description_main_mini" class="hikashop_product_description_main_mini">

		<?php
		$resume = substr(strip_tags(preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>#is','',$this->row->product_description)),0,500);

		$resume .= "...<a href='$link'>See more</a>";

		echo JHTML::_('content.prepare',$resume);

		?>

	</div>

this is not working correctly, any other idea?

how to fix that?

Hi,

This is probably due to "substr" which return a part of a string but it can too cut a character so it return this symbol because the character is not complete.
I think that the function "mb_substr" allow you to avoid that.

I have added a Read More Button as you describe above and it works fine on my desktop, but on a mobile device i see the button but it doesn't work. Do you have a sollution for this?
