Limit Title Characters on Product Listing Page

Is there a way to limit the amount of characters shown for products on the products listing page????

So would i do somthing like :

<?php
$rest = substr(, 0, -7);

?>

Hi,

Yes, something like:

<?php
echo substr($this->row->product_name, 0, 7); //To display 7 characters.
?>

When trying to edit the product listing page

i.e

Click on a category and you see all your products in that category with add to cart button..

Which file edits this file via VIEW?

Hi,

The view to edit is depending on your configuration, if you set a display in Div with image and title displayed, then the view is "product / listing_img_title".

oo my Gosh why am i going on stupid Cheers Mate

Think i need sleep

Sorry for wasting you time that was a stupid question now awake had a bit of sleep

SORRY

Right i now have five mins to implement the character limit

So we have product name listed here:

<!-- PRODUCT NAME -->
<span class="hikashop_product_name">
<?php if($this->params->get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?>
<a href="<?php echo $link;?>">


<?php }
echo $this->row->product_name;
if($this->params->get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?>
</a>
<?php } ?>
</span>
<!-- EO PRODUCT NAME -->

I need to insert the title limit and manufactures name at the start i.e

<?php $class = hikashop_get('class.category');
$manufacturer = $class->get($this->element->product_manufacturer_id);
echo $manufacturer->category_name; ?>

Any time i input the codes i get nothing, but it works fine on show_block???

<!-- PRODUCT NAME -->
<span class="hikashop_product_name">
<?php if($this->params->get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?>
<a href="<?php echo $link;?>">


<?php
echo substr($this->row->product_name, 0, 7); //To display 7 characters.
?>
</a>
<?php } ?>
</span>
<!-- EO PRODUCT NAME -->

That's the title limited Figured it out

Unable to get Manufacture name in Title on Product listing page

Are you sure that you edit in the good view of the good template ?

Ye i got the Limit working fine for the title but need the brand name to appear in Title also... Code i got won't work

<?php $class = hikashop_get('class.category');
$manufacturer = $class->get($this->element->product_manufacturer_id);
echo $manufacturer->category_name; ?>

I tried this code on my end, and it's working fine, try to add it just after the code:

<?php
echo substr($this->row->product_name, 0, 7); //To display 7 characters.
?>

Right we are confused i Sorted The Limit out i need the BRAND name to come up before title is this possible~????

Hi,

Yes I understood that you have solved the limit problem, and I was telling you to try to add the code:

<?php $class = hikashop_get('class.category');
$manufacturer = $class->get($this->element->product_manufacturer_id);
echo $manufacturer->category_name; ?> 

<?php
echo substr($this->row->product_name, 0, 7); //To display 7 characters.
?>

<?php $class = hikashop_get('class.category');
$manufacturer = $class->get($this->element->product_manufacturer_id);
echo $manufacturer->category_name; ?> 

ooo ok i'll try it now cheers mate

Nunno whats going on but that don't work my end, plus i have to be in the correct file as the limit is working

<!-- PRODUCT NAME -->
<span class="hikashop_product_name">
<?php if($this->params->get('link_to_product_page',1)){ ?>
<a href="<?php echo $link;?>">

<?php $class = hikashop_get('class.category');
$manufacturer = $class->get($this->element->product_manufacturer_id);
echo $manufacturer->category_name; ?><?php echo substr($this->row->product_name, 0, 30); //To display 7 characters.
?>
</a>
<?php } ?>
</span>
<!-- EO PRODUCT NAME -->
