Truncate accessory name in non default theme ? Solution found, sharing.

[philip.cripe]

Hi,

I've been working with prestashop for two months.

 

I am looking to find out how to shorten the name of a product in accessories because it messes up the look of the site when the accessories aren't as long as each other.

 

CASQUE STUDIO BEYERDYNAMIC DT 770 PRO...

next to

CASQUE STUDIO BLUE MO-FI

changes the height of the first and makes it look weird.

 

I needed to truncate to 24.

 

I did this by changing the code in my-active-theme/productdetail-right.tpl:

 

<a href="{$accessoryLink|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}">

{$accessory.name|truncate:24:'...':true|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}

</a>

 

I hope this helps someone.
