How to get a summary description to show

I have product listings displaying via products listing menus and I don't see any way to have some description text show in the listing summary boxes (before you click on them and go to the full listing). Can someone let me know how this is done and is there a way to tell HikaShop how much text to display there? Thanks!

Hi,
If you want me to help you, I'll need more informations like :
- what do you exactly want to do and where do you want to do it ( you can show it to me through some screenshots for example).
- a link to the page where you want your description to be shown.
Thanks .

I have attached two screenshots. One is entitled "listing.jpg" and other is entitled "products-page.jpg".

The listing.jpg screenshot shows one of our listing pages. In it you can see there that there is some description text underneath the word "description". That text is added in the back end in the "description" field of a product entry.

The products-page.jpg screenshot shows one of our product pages with listing summaries. In each of the summary boxes we'd like to have some of the description text from the relevant listing appear.

This is a very common thing to do, and is very basic to Joomla via the "read more"/"page break" system, but I don't see how it is done in HikaShop. Using the "read more" button in HikaShop's product entry pages does not produce the expected result. Thank you.

Hi there,

First of all, note that what you call the products-page is commonly called product listing and that what you call listing is the product page, it will be easier for us and anyone reading this topic
About what you want to do, just find the module or menu you are using to display your product listing (in Display>content module/menu).
Then just change the "Type of item layout" option to something you want including the description (for example image and description).
Note that if you want to keep your current display and add the description, you have to edit the layout. To do so, go in Display>Views, find your view (for example listing_table) and add some code to display the description (you can find this code in listing_img_desc).
