Remove Short Description from List View?

Store Builder in detail Configuration
#1

Hi All,



In version 2.010, does anyone know how to prevent the short description from showing up in List View? Or from any view for that matter.



I would also like to use a hook to do it so that it doesn’t come back after upgrade. I know how hooks work (so you don’t have to explain that process), but so far I just haven’t found a way to make this change using a provided hook.



Thanks!



Edited to add that I found the fix. If anyone else needs it, here it is:


  1. Create a file called product_block.override.tpl
  2. Add the following code:


{include file="common_templates/image.tpl" image_width=$settings.Appearance.thumbnail_width obj_id=$obj_id images=$product.main_pair object_type="product"}



{if $item_number == "Y"}{$smarty.foreach.products.iteration}. {/if}{$product.product|unescape}

{include file="views/products/components/buy_now.tpl" product=$product but_role="action" show_features=true show_sku=true hide_add_to_cart_button=$hide_add_to_cart_button capture_options_vs_qty=$smarty.capture.capt_options_vs_qty}

{if $product.short_description || $product.full_description}

{/if}



3. Place this file in the hooks directory as such: skins/{my skin}/customer/addons/my_changes/hooks/ index/products
#2

I have not tried this but it looks pretty straightforward.



In /skins/YOURSKIN/customer/views/categories/custom_templates/products.tpl, comment out this code starting at line 28:

{if $product.short_description || $product.full_description}


{if $product.short_description}
{$product.short_description|unescape}
{else}
{$product.full_description|unescape|strip_tags|truncate:280:"..."}{if $product.full_description|strlen > 280}{$lang.more_link}{/if}
{/if}



There is a hook at line 16 if you want to do it that way:

[QUOTE]{hook name=“products:product_block”}[/QUOTE]
