[solved] Name of the products are shorten using some strange rule.

[Dolke]

Hi,

 

As you can see in attached printscreen, there are 2 products from my website.

One has longer and other has shorter name but they both can be displayed in one line.

 

 

On the first product Presta just cuts off big part of the name and then add "..." and in the second it just goes into the 2nd line and displays full name.

 

Why there are 2 rules that are completely different?

And more important question, how to make all names to display as 2nd product?

 

Thank you in advance.

Dean

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

 

it's a |truncate:35:'...' function, just remove it from product-list.tpl file (or homefeatured.tpl and you will get full product name

[Dolke]

I see, thank you Vekia.

 

I believe that I can also change value to something other then 35 and get more characters to be displayed?

 

But then again, you can see that in the first product it didn't use 35 characters and then cut the name. Instead it just displayed a few characters and added ... sign it didn't even go to next line.

you can increase value of truncate param, try with it

[Dolke]

I changed parameter to 300 but it is still not working ok.

 

Check this page for example: http://www.dekom.co....eri-za-ve-maine

 

Do I need to do something after I made this change?

[vekia]

link you pasted doesnt work

 

you have to be sure, that you edit correct .tpl file and correct truncate

usualy in .tpl files are many truncate functions (for product name in alt="" tag etc.)

I'm guessing you 're on version 1.5.x.

 

In the Back Office, go to menu Advanced Parameters > Performance. What is the chosen value for "Template cache" parameter...?

[Dolke]

Sorry for not replying sooner Vekia.

 

Here is another link: http://www.dekom.co....hanicarski-alat

Basically you can see this on very category page. I will try to find these other truncate functions as this one I changed is not for the product title.

Ty for taking interest in this issue. Value for that option is:

Recompile templates if the files have been updated

Edited May 30, 2013 by Dolke (see edit history)

[parsifal]

This value, while expected to behave like the last value "Always recompile" when a .tpl file has been changed, it does not always do that. I have found that sometimes it helps to manually delete the cached template files (all the *.tpl.php files in the directory /YOUR_PS_PATH/cache/smarty/cache/)

[Dolke]

Im not sure what that actually means...

[parsifal]

In other words: go to directory /YOUR_PRESTASHOP_INSTALLATION_PATH/cache/smarty/cache/, find all files that end with .tpl.php and delete them.

[Dolke]

In this folder I see bunch of other folders but not those files you are talking about.

 

Btw, your solution Vekia worked. Thank you once again.

[parsifal]

That's strange, I would expect something like this:

so im going to mark this thread as solved ;-)

i just thought that you've got still problem with this ;/

[Dolke]

Yes go ahead please.

 

@perisfal

 

Well I really don't know sir. When I go to that particular folder there are no files like you describe.

Im using prestashop 1.5.4.1 which is the latest version so maybe this was fixed compering to your 1.5.x v.

[parsifal]

You may be right! Sorry for any confusion.
