It is not hard to make the Teaser option available in the Catalog Settings. Please provide this.

Actually, I'm going to won't fix this unless another maintainer feels really strongly about this. The catalog is just a basic product overview. If you want other fields (like teasers) the solution is to take advantage of the Views integration. I understand it's more work for the end user (you), but it's also better for you in the long run and keeps us from duplicating all the possible fields Views can display in the catalog module.

I try to search any Shopping Cart applications without teaser (or short description) in their "Catalog Settings". And I found only UC doesn't have this feature/option.

I know Views can do many many task. But I think better you provide a "ready to use" e-commerce application rather than depend on another application, especially for a very basic feature like this.

Also, imagine if UC has port to Drupal 10 ... but Views still in Drupal 9.

I don't find your arguments compelling. Views will be in core by then and the catalog module will have evolved. Views isn't a separate application but a big part of a majority of Drupal sites out there. Every e-commerce application is different, but not every e-commerce application has the ability to let the end user create a custom catalog from scratch using a powerful bit of software like Views. : )

You're right, so, just delete the Product Catalog list because user can make it using Views =))

"Ubercart is .... It has been designed with the end user in mind, focusing on usability .... Ubercart out of the box is ...."

Should be rewrite to ... :)

Thanks for great module! And very out of the box module.

There should be teasers in the product catalog period.

I agree with the others -- teasers should be an option selectable with a simple checkbox. If a view is required to make this happen, then why not provide a sample to work with?

Frankly, I'm confused by Views, and creating them is non-trivial.

Actually setting up taxonomy and views instead of the stock UC catalog is not that hard. Really the hardest part was figuring out Views arguments and relationships. Took me a few days of reading and searching but I got it. With taxonomy, views, blocks, TVI and custom regions you get way more control over the display.

I'll make a post on the UC forums later in the week on how I did it, I just have to clean up the site a bit. You can see what I did here http://www.altgro.com/nutrients The site is a little rough but I'll have it polished later this week.

If someone has a patch, please post it; otherwise, use Views to make a custom catalog.
