How can I display a short product description on category product listing pages? On the product page I have a long description. But I can't find an option for a short description.

I have added and ... nothing

I have added in this place:
<!-- PRODUCT NAME -->
<span class="hikashop_product_name">
<?php echo preg_replace('#<hr*id="system-readmore"*/>.*#is',",$this->row->product_description);?>
<?php if($this->params->get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?>

P.S. I show my products in tabel and I wil under the product name to show a short description (listing_img_title)

If you're using the "table" layout, it's the file "listing_table" that you need to edit, not "listing_img_title".

I did. At beginning of file, nothing changes. At the end of file... nothing changes.
(product listing_table)
In which place of file exactly have I to add this code?

Hi,

Where you have placed it was ok.
Had you an error returned ? (thanks to set the Joomla error reporting to maximum)

I had no error message. Just my website was on white background, all the items in a row as a list, with other sizes and font family.

If you had turned on the error reporting you should have had an error when you did your change.

The problem is that you should not at it at the beginning or at the end of the listing_table file.

You should add the line

<?php echo preg_replace('#<hr*id="system-readmore"*/>.*#is',",$this->row->product_description);?>
after
if($this->params->get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?>
								</a>
							<?php } ?>
in listing_table.

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

Hi Vero,

It's not exactly the same code. Try this one instead of the one given by Nicolas and it should work :)

Now I have this finally, but the whole description. So, not just a short, but a short description + black line + a long description...

Who can I have just a short description in product listing? A short description has to be not a link. Links are image and the name of product. Because my link is of pink color, than is enough just the name us a link. A short description I wil in normal grey color. Others the all text pink is not nice and too much pink color.

Can you help me?

The code proposed by Xavier will display the short description.
If you want the full description, then simply use that code instead:
<?php echo $this->row->product_description; ?>

I know that my Englisch is not good, I try again.
I wil only! short description on product listig table pages. With the code proposed by Xavier I have a short description + black line + a long description on those pages. So I have all! on those pages, but I wil only! a short description that is above the readmore link.

That is the image what I have now:
you see the black line and under this line the whole description is shown. I need only the first three lines of text and don't need this black line and the rest of the text under that line.

Then it means that the description of the product doesn't have a valid read more tag.
Please make sure that it uses:

<hr id="system-readmore" />

It uses, of course. Do you see that black line? If it not uses, will be no line. I made sure.

Hi there,

Here the right line, sorry about the first mistakes:

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