If there is no short description specified I don't want CS-Cart to build one anyway using part of the full description. What should I change to prevent this?
templates / addons / my_changes / overrides / blocks / product_templates / default_template.tpl
{$product.short_description|unescape}
{* MODIFIED replaced else with elseif null *}
{elseif null}
{$product.full_description|unescape|strip_tags|truncate:200:"..."}{if $product.full_description|strlen > 200}{$lang.more_link}
{/if}
{/if}
design/themes/YOUR_THEME/templates/common/product_data.tpl
replace
{if $product.short_description}{$product.short_description nofilter}{else}{$product.full_description|strip_tags|truncate:160 nofilter}{/if}
with
{if $product.short_description}{$product.short_description nofilter}{/if}
