[FIXED] How to keep only the first paragraph of $product.description_short in a listing?

Issue

I want to keep only the first paragraph of product description in categories.

Example: <p>This is a pretty good description.</p><p>The rest of the description, even if it's cool to I don't want it.</p>

To : <p>This is a pretty good description.</p>

This is the default code in product-list.tpl Prestashop (1.6):

<p class="product-desc" itemprop="description">
   {$product.description_short|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:360:'...'}
</p>

This is what I tried default code in product-list.tpl Prestashop (1.6):

<p class="product-desc" itemprop="description">
   {assign var $newdescription = $product.description_short|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:360:'...'}
   {preg_replace('(?<=<\/p>)\s+<p>.*','',$newdescription)}
</p>

Solution

{$_shorten = explode('</p>', $product.description_short)}
// with valid html tags
{$_shorten.0|cat:'</p>'}
// or if you want to strip tags:
{$_shorten.0|strip_tags}
