Awesome Plugin / Outstanding Support

Hi,

Thanks for taking your time to write a review.

The “Product Short Description” field definitely comes with styling. It comes with WordPress default editor so you can use the buttons available or swich to the HTML view and add your own markup.

Both the default editor styling and custom HTML markup is displayed on product page (I just tested it).

The only place where all the HTML tags are removed is a short description displayed on product listing when you have the Classic List selected. This is actually intentional as in most cases we don’t need there any additional styling or HTML markup that we want to display on product page.

If you need this enabled on product listing when classic list is enabled you will need the Classic List with Button extension which allows it when you set the description lenght to unlimited.

You can also use eCommerce Product Catalog action hooks and filters to change this behaviour.

All the translations are added by plugin users on impleCode collaborative translation project. If you see any messy translations you can fix them here. Your input will be included with the next plugin update.

Thanks again for your comments. I hope it is more clear now. Have a nice time creating with eCommerce Product Catalog ??

Hello Ndre,

Thank you also for your long and detailed reply to my feedback.

The only place where all the HTML tags are removed is a short description displayed on product listing when you have the Classic List selected. This is actually intentional as in most cases we don’t need there any additional styling or HTML markup that we want to display on product page.

Unfortunately, the styling of the “short product description” on the catalogue preview is exactly what I needed in order to get best seamless integration into my theme.

(I will leave it unlocked over the weekend, still in dev state atm.)

To assume, that a styling is simply not needed is simply wrong from my point of view. We have bought the “Classic List with Button” Plugin during this week, which I thought would solve the problem – but it didn’t.
(I can proof it by showing the API Key.)

When the product description is pretty short, like in my case, you are wasting too much space in the product view, with the list approach in my opinion.

The second link I have provided is a product catalogue, coded by hand.

https://www.oxxo-wheels.de/products

It comes with a link to the details page, and a lightbox in the product overview.

I’m a native German speaker, and the German translation has a decend amount single/plural forms (which is understandable since others consider German to a difficult language). I will digg into that and help with the translation if I can.

Thanks for the hint to change some hooks and filters. Maybe that is my solution.

However, thank you for your polite reply – I really appreciate it. Thank you! Keep up the good work.

Regards

Toby

Hi,

The HTML tags are stripped away from Classic List output because normally we don’t want the same markup on product listing and on product page. The Classic List with Button will leave your HTML tags if you set its lenght to unlimited (set to 0). If it does not work this way please send us the support ticket.

It seems that you are trying to display product attributes on product listing. Wouldn’t it be better to use the plugin attributes feature to do it instead of short description? The short description purpose is to display some short description not product attrubutes.

If you would like to do this please send us a support ticket I will help you to achieve this.
