Problem with product pages

[johnlove]

When my product title is longer than the product header bar it falls off

See the issue here: http://www.spectrumbookshop.com/product.php?id_product=18

Also in the new product box the name comes up twice how can i only have the name only once

and why are my product coming up as unavailable

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Ok, on your first problem, you could reduce the font size, but it would make it too small to be readable. You only real options are to use a theme that will allow long names on a header bar like that or reduce the name size.

 

As for the product names coming up twice, what it is actually doing is having the product name and then having the short description. It just looks like it is coming up twice since the first line in the short description is the book name again. You really only have 2 options for this, put something else in the short description or change the code of the module to use the long description. The latter would more than likely be the best.

 

On line 42 of the blocknewproducts.tpl file change this

$newproduct.description_short|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:50:'...'}

 

to this

$newproduct.description|strip_tags:'UTF-8'|truncate:50:'...'}

 

and it will use the long description.

 

For the unavailable products, do you have them as set to being available in the back office? If you do do you have stock on them?

Thanks for the help the bottom two problems are solved with your advice

For the first problem is it possible to have the header block expand to accommodate a long header

as reducing the font makes it too difficult to read

You would have to make a new graphic for it if you did, because the background that is there now is currently a graphic. But if you made a taller graphic it would cover. I would shoot for about 42 or so pixels on the first go. And in your global.css file you would have to change the height from 21 to what every your graphic is, about line 167 or so.
