    Different Long Description

    Hi everybody!

    I have a few stores, and some of the products are listed on more then one store. Can I have a different long description for each store?

    Thank you!

    Re: Different Long Description

    You could use the ##LONGDESCRIPTION1..5## merges on your themes if you have only one description per store and less than 5 stores.

    Another route is to use a local file on each store to contain the description for each product and include it as an external file merge in the product description, but that will make your descriptions not searchable using the on-site search.

    I'm sure others will have additional solutions as well.

    We use the following merge within our description tab on the product editor:

    ##IF[StoreID=1]##This product description for store 1##ENDIF##
    ##IF[StoreID=2]##This product description for store 2##ENDIF##

    etc

    The advantage on this methoid is that the content is indexed correctly for each respective website via google etc.

    In also keeps the other product description tabs available for other content.

     Cheers
