short descriptions invisible in list view of category-catalogs

[Ulrich]

version 1.0.4 RC , warehouse-theme , PHP 7.0 I do not know if this also applies to version 1.0.3: If i import articles with short descriptions with a csv file, in the category-catalogs in the grid and table views the name of the product is displayed, in the list view the name of the product and also the short description is displayed, but ONLY if there is NO reference to an image and instead the default no-image-available-image is loaded. If I open and save an article in which the short description in list view is displayed (one of those without a picture) in the BO and save it again, short description will no longer be displayed, even if i don't change anything in the editor. The reason is that within

"short description" </ p> another pair

</ p> is inserted when i open the article in the BO or if a picture is referenced to the article, like this:

"short description" </ p> another pair </ p> and therefore "short description" remains invisible :-(

[lesley]

Is this a bug in the theme, not thirty bees?

[Ulrich]

@lesley I don't think it's theme related, because opening and saving articles in BO is genuine thirty bees?

[lesley]

I don't guess I am understanding what your problem is, can you screenshot it?

[Ulrich]

[lesley]

I would test this on 1.0.3, this really seems template related.

[Ulrich]

@lesley yes, i think so. I made a dirty workaround and replaced in product_list.tpl the lines

                <p class="product-desc" >
                    {$product.description_short}
                </p>

with

                <p class="product-desc" >
                    {str_replace("<p>", "", {str_replace("</p>", "", $product.description_short)})}
                </p>

This works fine, but it would be better to search around where this useless "

...

" is added to $product.description_short and remove it.

[lesley]

Is it coming from your short description being malformed there is no html cleanup on an import.

[Ulrich]

@lesley This is my description_short: Büdingen, Angela von:
Gereimte Homöopathie. Eine Arzneimittellehre in Versen.

Heidelberg, Haug, 1997; 152 S., broschiert ; 19 cm ; guter Zustand, geringe Gebrauchsspuren ; ISBN 3-7760-1629-9

Don't name it malformed :-(

Anywhere

is added and if i open in editor it has changed to

Büdingen, Angela von:
Gereimte Homöopathie. Eine Arzneimittellehre in Versen.

Heidelberg, Haug, 1997; 152 S., broschiert ; 19 cm ; guter Zustand, geringe Gebrauchsspuren ; ISBN 3-7760-1629-9

THIS is malformed, because its inside

...

[lesley]

Try removing the ; from the short description and see if it helps.

[Ulrich]

No, it doesn't help. Have also removed "

" ... "

" before saving. If i open again, "

" ... "

" was added again...

[lesley]

Go to Preferences -> General in your back office and disable the html purifier and try again.

[Ulrich]

No, it doesn't help.

Opening and saving any article will always add “

” … “

” and make it invisible.

[lesley]

If you look in the actual database is that p tag there? Or is it just in the output on the page?

[Ulrich]

p tag is in database table tbproductlang in field description_short.

But ONLY for those articles, wher i have before manually added a picture in cataloge > article > edit. That is it: Opening and closing any article, no matter what the occasion, will add the p tag. Have checked it right now. It may not be seen anywhere else that it causes an error, only in the list view where it prevents the display of description_short.

[lesley]

Hmm, this might be a regression, we will get it checked out.

[Ulrich]

uuuum, regression? Is that something contagious ?

[lesley]

No, it means a bug in our release candidate version.

Generally in demand:

Unfortunately I have not had the time TB 1.0.4. to test. Do you use the template for PS 1.6 or 1.7 - as far as the differences I do not know, but maybe this could be a problem. For TB is synonymous only the Transformer theme for PS 1.6. compatible and the version for 1.7 at TB is not functional. Both templates are from the same programmer

[Ulrich]

@zimmer-media template for PS 1.6

[zimmer-media]

I just wanted to make sure. and if you use the original?

<p class="product-desc hide-if-product-grid" itemprop="description"> {$product.description_short|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:360:'...'} </p> or from warehouse/transformer

```

{$product.description_short|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:360:'...'}

```

[Ulrich]

@zimmer-media But this is the code for displaying descriptionshort. p tag is added anywhere else. Why? But you're right: striptags will remove all tags and would solve the problem. Many thanks! But this means i can't use and
anymore and have a totally unformatted description_short.

[zimmer-media]

Currently I do not remember which of my shops I had a similar problem. There I only had {$ product.descriptionshort} and display issues. I am not sure if it was the "truncate" or "striptags", I had removed one of them.

[Ulrich]

@zimmer-media As far as i know, closing the editor of articles will always parse the text of description_short and will add this p tag.

[zimmer-media]

Because of "truncate" I'm currently still thinking about what the problem was because I removed that, but I think it was because of the special characters such as Ä Ö Ü etc.

[zimmer-media]

I'm now almost certain that I had the problem with a shop that I had migrated from PS to TB. He is multilingual with u.a. Russian. Here I have definitely removed the "truncate".
