i am using a plugin which allows me to display text based on access levels. link to plugin: www.greatjoomla.com/tutorials/core-design-access-text-plugin/how-to-setup-core-design-access-text-plugin.html

This works fine in product view pages. My Long Description has this code and based on user levels correct code is displayed.

On the category view i need to display the short description instead of price.

I have accomplished this. I have made changes to short description in virtumart admin is just like long description where i can add html code using an editor "Short description with WYSIWYG and HTML"


My problem now is that Cleanmart strips the html tags in category view.
I have tried this solution but i still have the same problem. www.flexiblewebdesign.com/forum-joomla-virtuemart-template-coolmart-support/1611-wrong-display-when-html-tag-in-short-desc-flypage.

can you please tell me what i can do to stop cleanmart from removing tags? i have attached a screenshot to show you what is happening.

Hi,

I must tell you that "CleanMart" doesn't remove anything. CleanMart truncate the short description on ListView by limitStringByWord() function, which is already a Virtuemart Core function. Allows only 100 word via this PHP expression:

but this also doesn't remove any HTML line, it just removes the words after 100th.

To print the full short description, below PHP expression should be used (without the limitStringByWord() function)
Clearing HTML tags from product_s_desc is "Virtuemart Core" related thing and it is taken care in the VM Backend. Once you enter the HTML to the field and click SAVE, the HTML tags are removed and the plain text is saved to the DATABASE. Which is normal, because "short description" is used as META Description (on product details page). If the HTML tags won't be removed, the META Description will include HTML tags. It would destroy the SEO. You shouldn't use HTML within the short description field.

There is one more field you can use, it is called "Internal Notes"
It is a textarea field (just like short description and full description), it is located below the "Product Price" row. (usually nobody notices that field is exist)



You can use that field.
To print that field on category page, use this PHP expression:
To print that field on product page, use this PHP expression:
