Latest products

[Guest]

Is there a way to limit the text on latest products. I added a new product and it doens't stay in line with the other products.

I have found that when you seperate the words with a space it helps a lot.

ex. dvdworld/dvdworld and dvdworld / dvdworld

There was a post about this a while ago, try the search and change the date to over 60 days.

I will also try and find it for you. ;)

I used a display limit on the text on latest products on cubecart 2. It was something like show 15-20 characters.

Edit

Here is the old code

CODE

// start loop of results

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($new_prod_result)){

$title=$row["title"];

$product=$row["product"];

$description= $row["description"];

After, Add

CODE

$description=stripslashes($description);

$description=substr($description,0,75);

Can i do this on V3?

Or you can just set the height so it is large enough for all images and all titles to fit.

E.g. in skins/Killer/styleTemplates/content/index.tpl:

<!-- BEGIN: repeat_prods -->

<div style="float: left; text-align: center; width: {VAL_WIDTH}px; height: 150px;">

The actual value for the height will depend on your site. Just try different values until you find what works.

Estelle is right - and the same goes for subcategories, as you may learn when setting up the store.

For more information on fixing these issues, see the tutorial in the Downloads section.

Sorry that i didn't really answer your question the first time round. That code will not work in v3, but here's the change to make.

Edit includes/content/index.tpl. Find this line:

$index->assign("VAL_PRODUCT_NAME",$latestProducts[$i]['name']);

*Replace* it with these lines (change the 75 to however many characters you want):

$name = substr($latestProducts[$i]['name'],0,75);

$index->assign("VAL_PRODUCT_NAME",$name);

Done! :sourcerer:
