HTML Markers showing in best seller lists.

[Gareth Wanklin]

Hello all.

We have on our sites home page a list of best sellers and new products. Nothing new you might say however we have noticed something strange happening recently.

When using coloured text etc in the product description the Code Markers (!!< & >!!) are showing in the best sellers and new product descriptions.

Does anyone know how to get rid of these?

Many Thanks

Gareth

You seem to be using a tweak to limit the number of words shown?

If so, post a link to the tweak and also try searching for other relevant posts regarding it.

If your tweak has the line:

$sOriginal = '<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductDescription" selectable="false" />';

Replace it with:

$sOriginal = <<<ENDOFDESC
<actinic:variable name="ProductDescription" selectable="false" />
ENDOFDESC;
$sOriginal = strip_tags($sOriginal);

Note that the line ENDOFDESC; must not be indented. It must start at the left margin.
