Get rid of short descriptions

[cwp +]

Open up showlistings.tpl or showlistings2.tpl and find

{$entry.shortDescription}

and replace with:

{$entry.description|truncate:30:"...":true}

Replace the number "30" with the number of characters you would like displayed in the showlistings template.

Go to http://smarty.activeventure.org/lang....truncate.html for additional options.

Now go into administration in checkout settings and select "no" for require short description and display short description field.
