Ok.. I understand. But can you help us to limit the description in listings?
Some people make Big descriptions with many spaces between words.
So can you tell me how to limit the description in listings?

Hello. Could you please tell me where in the new theme to limit the number of displayed characters in the description, just like it was in the previous Rainbow template.

Hello,

Add this style:

Thanks Rudi, but unfortunately it is unchanged. The full description is displayed, with no text reduction...

I solved it like this: featured_item.tpl and listing.tpl

add:

{if $item.Key == 'additional_information'}
<div class="hirdetes_item_szoveg">{$item.value|replace: '...':''|truncate:100:'...'}</div>
{/if}

style.css

add:

.hirdetes_item_szoveg {
padding: 5px 10px 5px 0;
}

Thank you very much, but unfortunately this option gives me an error...
System error occurred
Smarty error:
And where do I need to insert the code in listing.tpl?
