Displaying product title...

[kicsiburcsi]

Hi All,

 

A minor annoyance, but a rather important one..

 

The shop I am currently building does not display the entier product name inwhen you view them in the category. It displays the beginning and then dots after that.

E.g.

 

This is how it should be:     "Long product name because it is long"

This is how it is doing it:      "Long product..."

 

It would be rather important to overcome this issue as the shop has many similar products with differences only in taste, but not look.

 

www.kolbaszaruhaz.hu if someone wants to have a look.

 

I have also attached a picture where I have outlined the issue with red and black :-)

 

Thx All for reading it.

Hi.

 

You need to edit product-list.tpl, locate:

 

<h3>{if isset($product.pack_quantity) && $product.pack_quantity}{$product.pack_quantity|intval|cat:' x '}{/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>

 

By changing the number after 'truncate' you can set the length of the text.

Robin,

 

Thanks for the quick reply, I will try it a bit later and will mark it as solved if that works.

 

Thanks for your time :-)

Robin,

 

I have changed it with no effect. :-(

It was set to 35 (i guesss that is the default) so it should have shown more anyway

Some products shows it all and some just a few digits...

Do you have compilation turned on?

 

Are you trying to change it on the home page or on the product list?

Robin,

 

Where can I turn on and off these? Should thez be turned off or on?

You can turn on / off the compilation is the back office:

Advanced Parametes -> Performance

 

If 'Never recompile template files' is checked you will not see any modifications you made to the template files.

Soooooo

 

Under the smarty settings it is set to regenerate the templates if thez have been modified.

 

According to this they should be regenerated.

 

The title looks fine if you view the products in the category, but on the home page some of them is okay and some of them is not

You can see it on the main page of the site :-(

[CartExpert.net]

The products on the home page are not displayed by product-list.tpl, they are displayed by 'homefeatured' module, so you need to edit the 'homefeatured.tpl'

It must be noted that I needed to edit the one in the custom template rather than the default.

 

Thanks mate!!!

If the business kick is I will get you some sausages... There will be lot more than what it is in the shop now :-)
