Short Product Description

[Guest]

I tried to add the short product description contrib to my site, It really messed up the tables, even with moving the pictures to list column 1.

 

There is a function in the general.php file that wa made for the contrib:

 

function osc_trunc_string($str="",$len=150,$more=1)

 

The way I want to implement this is by putting a <br> into the product listing colum and putting in the code example: (my code is slightly modified to add the manufacturer to the list also)

 

$lc_text = '<a class="productListing-data" href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'cPath=' . ($HTTP_GET_VARS['cPath'] ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['cPath'] : tep_get_product_path($listing_values['products_id']) ) . '&products_id=' . $listing_values['products_id'], 'NONSSL') . '">' . $listing_values['manufacturers_name'] . ' ' . $listing_values['products_name'] . '</a><br>' . osc_trunc_string(strip_tags($listing_values['products_description'], ''), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH) . '';

 

So I'm wondering what code would I need so that I'm not dealing with broken colum and table issues currently present in my site http://www.forksdrumcloset.com
