Hi! So we have the Dawn theme (7.0.1), and we’d like to add a short (10 word or so) preview of the description under the product title that the user can click on and get brought to the full product description. Any idea on how to implement something like that?
Topic summary
Goal: Show a very short (≈10-word) product description preview beneath the product title in the Dawn theme (v7.0.1), clickable to jump to the full description.
Implementation proposed:
- Create a custom field (Shopify “metafield” = a custom key-value field for storing extra product data).
- Add the metafield’s key to the product template to render the short description under the title.
- Make the preview text a link pointing to the full description section.
Design guidance:
- Avoid placing too much content under the product title; a brief short description is acceptable.
Open questions:
- The OP asks whether they must manually copy the short description into a metafield and reference it; no explicit confirmation or step-by-step instructions yet.
Status:
- No code or attachments shared. Discussion remains open pending confirmation and implementation details.
Hi @nagumi ,
We need to create a custom field to store and we need to add the custom field meta key in the product template to show.
It is not recommended to put more content under the product title. A short description can be placed.
So I’d have to manually copy the short description to a metafield and call that?
