Hi sors11,

If you're talking about the product short description, just log into your back office in PrestaShop 1.5x, then hover over the "Preferences" tab, then click on the "Products" option.

Change the "Short description max size" to the number of characters you want to use for a maximum in the short description. Remember, though, that allowing too many characters could cause issues in the product display.

Hope that helps...

Hi..thanks for your reply...I don't mean about the product short description ....I mean about the length of the Shop description....where the Seller fix his logo, his shop's name, shop address....the country blabla..

I'd need that my users could write more and more about their Shops and it appears in the products tabs

How could I fix more length in this field?

Sorry about that, you're talking about the description field for "Seller Business Info" then?

In that case there shouldn't be any real limit, and there is no maximum character setting for it that I'm aware of. Sellers should be able to use a full description, including images if they want.

What version of PrestaShop and Agile modules are you using? And do you have the same limitation as admin in the back office when you edit through "Administration->Seller Business Info"?

[sors11_2957]

Yeah...it´s true...I enter to my Backoffice and Administrator > Seller Info and write whatever (more than 256 chracters) and I save correctly and I show in the product tab at the FrontOffice this information:

"- Vendemos todo tipo de materiales, componentes e impresoras 3D existentes en el mercado.
- Vendemos todo tipo de materiales, componentes e impresoras 3D existentes en el mercado.
- Vendemos todo tipo de materiales, componentes e impresoras 3D existentes en el mercado.
- Vendemos todo tipo de materiales, componentes e impresoras 3D existentes en el mercado.
- Vendemos todo tipo de materiales, componentes e impresoras 3D existentes en el mercado.
- Vendemos todo tipo de materiales, componentes e impresoras 3D existentes en el mercado.
- Vendemos todo tipo de materiales, componentes e impresoras 3D existentes en el mercado.
- Vendemos todo tipo de materiales, componentes e impresoras 3D existentes en el mercado."


BUT....when I do that through the FrontOffice as user ...it´s impossible....

The error message says something relationated with my language (spanish)....maybe it´s the problem no?...where could I see something about my language?

sorry I attach the image

[sors11_2957]

I´ve found this inside /public/ps/modules/agilemultipleseller/SellerInfo.php

'description'=>array('type'=>self::TYPE_HTML,'lang'=>true,'lang'=>true,'validate'=>'isString','size'=>6000)


It seems to be ok no? 6000 characters....

but why says something about my language? how could I see or modify this length for Spanish?
thanks

Hi sors11,

You're correct in the 6,000 characters, but that should be more than enough for the description.

The language shouldn't affect this in any way. I'll check with the development team about a possible issue.

Do you have any other 3rd part modules installed from anyone besides Agile? And what version of PrestaShop are you using?

Thanks...

[sors11_2957]

I use Versión de PrestaShop: 1.5.2.0

And I have

- Agile MultiSeller
- MultiShop
- Messenger
- Agile Seller Ratings

it´s rare...because as I said...it´s due to my language...because I´ve seen the database and the field in the table is very big varchar field....so I don´t know why it´s looking for by language ..?¿

please try to check the issue

I've emailed the development team, and will let you know what we find...
