          You will need to change this file template/catalog/product/view/description.phtml like this:



          <?php $_description = $this->getProduct()->getDescription(); ?>
          <?php if ($_description): ?>
          <h2><?php echo $this->__('Details') ?></h2>
          <div class="std">
          <?php echo $this->helper('catalog/output')->productAttribute($this->getProduct(), $_description, 'description') ?>
          </div>
          <?php else: //adding short description?>
          <h2><?php echo $this->__('Short Details') ?></h2>
          <div class="std">
          <?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($this->getProduct(), $this->getProduct()->getShortDescription(), 'short_description') ?>
          </div>
          <?php endif; ?>


          This should give you short description if description is empty.



          UPDATE



          If you want to save short description as description if it is empty in backend then I would suggest to run a simple function like this:



          $products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
          foreach($proudcts as $product)
          if(!$product->getDescription() && $product->getShortDescription())
          $product->setDescription($product->getShortDescription())->save();
          Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addSuccess($this->__($product->getId(). "'s description is saved."));




          Now, how to run this code? You can create a simple module and place above code in indexAction(), then call it.



          PS I would still stick with first solution that I provided. That works with not having description in the product. This helps you to know which product doesn't have description and can save later if needed for each product.

          I would recommend filtering the collection for performance's sake, and I would put this code into a file in your Magento root (maybe setDescription.php) and run it from either from the command line (php setDescription.php) or the browser (http://yourdevurl/setDescription.php).



          <?php

          require_once 'app/Mage.php';
          Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);


          $productCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()
          ->addAttributeToSelect('short_description')
          ->addAttributeToSelect('description')
          ->addAttributeToFilter('description', array('neq' => NULL));

          foreach ($productCollection as $product)
          $product->setDescription($product->getShortDescription());
          $product->save();

                I would recommend filtering the collection for performance's sake, and I would put this code into a file in your Magento root (maybe setDescription.php) and run it from either from the command line (php setDescription.php) or the browser (http://yourdevurl/setDescription.php).



                <?php

                require_once 'app/Mage.php';
                Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);


                $productCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()
                ->addAttributeToSelect('short_description')
                ->addAttributeToSelect('description')
                ->addAttributeToFilter('description', array('neq' => NULL));

                foreach ($productCollection as $product)
                $product->setDescription($product->getShortDescription());
                $product->save();
