X Cart Short Description Display On Product Pages

In X Cart, the Short Description doesn’t display if the Detailed Description is populated. I had a client who wanted the short description and the detailed description to display. In order to accomplish this, the template that contains the description (in this client’s case it was product_details.tpl) needs to be modified. In the configuration on the store that I was working on it was set to display the Detailed Description if it was filled out and not display the short description. If it was not filled out, then it defaults to display the Short Description if that is filled out: This is the code that shows the detailed version as described above: {$product.fulldescr|default:$product.descr} To change this so that it displays both, you can insert this where you want it: {$product.descr} {$product.fulldescr} Thanks to the X Cart forums and this thread for this solution. The store I was working on had a different configuration, but this led me to the answer: X Cart Short Description Display
