Length of product title may or may not wrap correctly

[markjl]

It seems that the on the default template, the width of product descriptions is quite limited. Also sometimes the title wraps to the next line and sometimes not. See this page for example where I am obliged to use abbreviations to get the text in. Can i increase the length of the title displayed?

yes you can increase the length of the title. You just must edit file product-list.tpl in your theme directory.

find line:

<h3>{if isset($product.new) && $product.new == 1}<span class="new">{l s='New'}</span>{/if}<a href="{$product.link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{$product.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{$product.name|truncate:35:'...'|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a></h3>

 

and edit {$product.name|truncate:35:'...'|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

35 is length of the product name
