Dynamic Product Description doesn't work in our Template

[marowi85]

Hello,

the dynamic product description doesn't work in our bought template, in default template it works well. I have compared both templates but I can not find the reason.

Could someone take a look at our template please?

Hi,

Product.Config.prototype.updateProductDescription = function(productId) {
    var description = this.config.description;
    if (productId && this.config.childProducts[productId].description) {
        description = this.config.childProducts[productId].description;
    }
    $$('div.box-description div.std').each(function(el) {
        el.innerHTML = description;
    });
};

The below function only updates the description, so your code should be as below to make it work

<?php $_description = $this->getProduct()->getDescription(); ?>
<?php if ($_description): ?>
   <div class = "box-description">
      <div class="std">
        <?php echo $this->helper('catalog/output')->productAttribute($this->getProduct(), $_description, 'description') ?>
    </div>
 </div>
<?php endif; ?>
