multiple products with description?

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to skip a step.
This is what I have:
1. user clicks category
2. it goes to product listing
3. then user clicks product and the description appears

What I need is for user to:

1. click category
2. then it goes to the product list WITH description.

I thought if i clicked the default div setting to display "image and description" it would work, but it doesn't. (see attached) Basically, I have small music samples for sale, so I have embedded the player in each description, so I would like for example, if the user clicks the category "piano" then all of the piano products would be listed with descriptions so the people would see the embedded media player for each and they can only listen to what they want right there without having to click each product again to see the description. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have made the change as you indicated, but it still does not show the descriptions. (see screenshots)

Hi there,

On your last screenshot the Type of item layout is set to image and title.
Set it to image and description, it should solve the problem.

Thank you. I changed that setting, and now the description is there, but the formatting doesn't work and also the media player doesn't work. The media player works fine in the normal product description as in attached screenshots. Please advise.

Hi,

I think that the answer to you problem is in this post:

That's probably good, but that is all in French! I switched to English, but it just changed the titles.

You have to create a custom field in Display > Custom Fields, the table must be "product", you can call the field "extract"
Then in each product pages, add the tag and the link to the file like, for example: {mp3}path/file.mp3}

Edit the view "product / listing_img_title" and add the code:

<? echo JHTML::_('content.prepare',$this->row->extract); ?>
