**Hi Experts,**

**i have really strange case by my shope:**

i have 7 product categies = 7 webpages.

6 of them load the products list with 3 column product boxs with the following product&nbsp;attributes:

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;product–info  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;1- class="product–image.  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2- class="product–rating-container.  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3- class=„product–price-info“.  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4-class=„product–actions“

so the product description is missing !!&nbsp;

but one of categories page load&nbsp;the products list with 2&nbsp;column product boxs with the following product&nbsp;attributes:

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;product–info  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;1- class="product–image.  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2- class="product–rating-container.  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;— \>&nbsp;&nbsp;3- class="product–description.  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;4-class=„product–price-info“.  
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;5-class=„product–actions“

in this list the product description is shown !! and everything is okay !

&nbsp;

the source code for all categories and pages&nbsp;is the same the path of it is:

\themes\Frontend\Bare\frontend\listing\product-box\box-basic.tpl&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hey,

did you checked the content from the variable&nbsp;sArticle.description\_long ? If not you can check if with the following code:

```
{$sArticle.description_long|@print_r} 

```

Add this codeline to your template and look what&nbsp;comes out of it. If there is no output the variable is not filled with content what means the problems is deeper in the shopware system.&nbsp;

You can also try to change the following codeline (Remove the strip\_tags or truncate function):

```
{$sArticle.description_long|strip_tags|truncate:240}

```

Is your template the default shopware template or an custom theme?

**Thanks ! i have found the solution …**

i have added:

{block name=‘frontend\_listing\_box\_article\_description’}

{$sArticle.description\_long|strip\_tags|truncate:240}

in the following file:

&nbsp;\themes\Frontend\Bare\frontend\listing\product-box\box-big-image.tpl

**and now im able to see the description under the product image in the products list page.**
