Text not getting formatted.

[Nik Grey]

I am stocking my Cubecart and noticed an issue I can't resolve.

 

Some of the text is not formatting - look:

 

 

Here's source the for one of the products affected:

CubeCart is programmed this way, but I submitted a bug report because of the difference in display based on the product description being longer or shorter than Store Settings, Layout tab, Length of product precis:

* Longer: strip all HTML tags and truncate, then append ellipsis.

* Shorter: use as is.

 

/classes/catalogue.class.php, near line 876 (line split for clarity):

$product['description_short'] = (strlen($product['description']) > $GLOBALS['config']->get('config', 'product_precis'))

? substr(strip_tags($product['description']), 0, $GLOBALS['config']->get('config', 'product_precis')).'…'

: $product['description'];

 

That is to say, when using the product description in the View Category listing, the description is supposed to be cut short with no styling. In my bug report I suggested applying the same process to the short descriptions as well.

 

: strip_tags($product['description']);

Ah, thanks young man - if I shorten the description is appears as I expect.

 

Excellent, I can live with that

If you take the &hellip out, won't it work with the longer descriptions?

Thanks all. We have added the code to strip_tags on the short description regardless on length. This will reach the next release.
