Then style the template however you want to as you would would with any other template file.

U can see from the screenshot attached that the short description field is enabled.

I tried pasting the code in viewlisting.tpl, as suggested, both with and without <tr> brackets, but all it did was inject a line break.

I tried the default 3 col template and it made no difference.

I uploaded viewlisting2.tpl and it made no difference.

I think you are confusing which templates show what. The short description doesn't show in ANY viewlisting page. It only shows in the showlistings2.tpl template file (the template used when you browse by category or a search result).

The short description isn't included in the viewlistings pages because that wouldn't make sense to have BOTH the short description AND the full description.

Also, you may want to check that you actually filled in the short description in the listing as well (easy to forget when troubleshooting issues like this). If you are going to modify what is being shown in a template file, you may also want to review the online documentation for working with template files. (From memory, I think the smarty variables are different between the showlisting(2).tpl files and the viewlisting(2).tpl files). You may need to use the smarty debug to see what the variables are.

And it's a beautiful set of templates.

I'm glad we could pinpoint the password problem - it will help others in the future.

This is the final problem to fix, and we're done I hope.

The QC module will not do what it's being asked to do

You advised posting it in the forum, so others can see the solution.

I put it here:

There is nothing wrong with your system.

I just placed adverts on it (having to login and go to admin through an advert because your main admin urls are blocked) and all the steps are suppressed as they should be. You had not activated the quick checkout module and image upload module. I am not sure what you were doing but it works for me.

As for your other problem with short descriptions. You had not set your checkout settings for short description and neither had you set to display showlistings2.tpl file in your admin control panel (i.e display short descriptions in search settings). Standard 68C settings.

Thread now closed.
