Long Description on Home Page Featured

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   How can I add the long description to the Home Page featured products? I was able to add the short description easily, however I need to use that field for something else, so I have the product details in the long description field. I'd like the first sentence or two to be displayed next to the item image with a 'more details' link.

When I add the following code to the pcShowPRoductH.asp page I can get the short description to display, however if I change the psDesc to pDetails, the long description isn't showing up.

<%
  response.write "<div class='pcShowProductSDesc' style='padding-top: 5px'>"
  response.Write psDesc & " <a href='#details'>" & dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_viewPrd_21") & "</a>"
  response.write "</div>"
 %>

Any ideas?

	Do both the short and long description fields have content? Typically the long description (rs("details")) has the main description.

	This is a bookstore. For some of the items both fields will have content - for some they won't. I ONLY want the long description to be displayed as we will be using the short description as subtitles for books that have them. All items will have a long description, though.

	Hi, Try looking at "Public Sub pcs_FeaturedProducts" in HomeCode.asp.

	Do you mean at this area of the code: '// Get sDesc query="SELECT sDesc FROM products WHERE idProduct="&pidrelation&";" set rsDescObj=server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet") set rsDescObj=conntemp.execute(query) psDesc=rsDescObj("sDesc") set rsDescObj=nothing I tried to change " psDesc=rsDescObj("sDesc")" to "pDetails" and it didn't work. Is there anything else that I should be doing?
