Magento 1.9.2.3 – Fix Product Short Description Not Displaying on Product Page

magento-1.9product

I am using a custom template on 1.9.2.3 , and I have provided a short description while adding the product in Admin Panel.

I am expecting to see the SHORT description somewhere below the product Name or Above Product Price.

However, the short description is not displaying.

My question: Am I missing any configuration in the Admin panel?

Or Am I required to make some changes in the some files in order to display the short description? If yes, which file has to be modified.

Best Answer

Use below code to call short description in design/frontend/your_package/default/catalog/product/view.phtml

<?php if ($_product->getShortDescription()):?>
      <div class="short-description">
          <div class="std"><?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, nl2br($_product->getShortDescription()), 'short_description') ?></div>
   </div>
<?php endif;?>

General

First, confirm that the areas shows anywhere. Regardless, this error is occurring due to an issue in one of two areas:

Incorrect/missing/superseded files
Incorrect/missing configuration

1. Incorrect/missing/superseded files

Diff a known-good copy of your version of Magento against yours. Correct any differences, restore files, and reset theme settings such that the "default" behavior should be in effect

2. Incorrect/missing configuration

You've confirmed that the configuration settings to display this button are set, but Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Catalog_Helper_Form_Wysiwyg::getIsWysiwygEnabled() checks if the Mage_Cms module is active to display even the disabled version of the button. Check that.

Magento – Set Discount Price on Product detail page

Magento has the ability to display the special price when it is set on a product:

enter image description here

This is styled in the Magento frontend with the markup

<p class="special-price">
    <span class="price-label">Special Price</span>
    <span class="price" id="product-price-423">$224.00</span>
</p>

So using the following CSS should allow you to style it how you see fit:

.special-price .price { 
   /* your rules here */
}
