Truncate Product Name length

Hi

I was wondering how to truncate the length of the Product Name on front end display.

My eshop is in2computing.com/eShop/product/listing.html

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks and regards
Yogi

Hi,

To truncate it in the product listing, you have to edit the view "product / listing_img_title" and replace the line "echo $this->row->product_name;" by "echo substr($this->row->product_name, 0, 50);"
Where "50" is the number of char to display.

Hello Xavier

Thanks for your quick response... That sorted out the problem... I have added "..." at the end of the product name as it truncates in the middle of the word...

echo substr($this->row->product_name, 0, 50)."...";


Thanks again

Where do I make the changes for the shopping cart module for the same reason?

You have to edit the view "product / cart" for this content.

Sorry Xavier! Can you please be a bit more specific? I am not able to figure out which file to modify...

Hi,

It would be difficult to be more specific.
Last time you have edit the view "product | listing_img_title" and this time you should edit the view "product | cart".

Thanks Jerome

I got it sorted now. Sorry for being a bit thick earlier.

This line is different in the latest version. <a href="<?php echo $link;?>" title="<?php echo $this->escape($this->row->product_name); ?>">

What do I do now please?

Hi,

Instead of : you can do:
