You can add something like this:

```php

{$product.full_description|unescape|truncate:100:"...":true}


```

You should place this code between, e.g.
```php
{if $item_number == "Y"}{$cur_number}................

{$product.full_description|unescape|truncate:100:"...":true}



{include file="views/products/components/buy_now.tpl"........................
```

Where 100 is MAX length of the description.

Hope, this solution will help you.

Thanks for all the great information.



I plugged in the “you should” version and got an error - probably because I’m supposed to replace those … (periods) with something. Can someone help me figure out what? It’s probably self-evident, but not to me.



I also tried plugging in the “you could” version, which works, sort of.



For some reason though, for products that have a short description, it won’t plug the long description into the grid-view. I’m using the exact same code as is found on the product details page, so far as I can tell, so I’m not sure what’s causing the short description to overrule the long description on the grid view page.



Any ideas?
