Increase number of characters displayed in 'Search products'

Hi :)

Whenever I use the 'Search' function and products are displayed, the product titles are truncated at some point.

A product titled :
'Pink Floyd - A momentary lapse of reason (Special Edition)'
will come out in my search results as
'Pink Floyd - A momentary lapse of...'

This is not very practical since I have a lot of products starting with the same name and I can't differentiate them when they are listed up.

I would therefore like to be able to display the FULL product name.

Does anybody know where I could change that ?

The file that you want to edit is <x-cart dir>/skin1/main/products.tpl

Code:

<a href="product.php?productid={ $products[cat_num].productid }">

<font class=ItemsList>{ $products[cat_num].product|escape|truncate:35:"...":false}</font>

</a>

Change the "35"

Re: Increase number of characters displayed in 'Search products' works for ADMIN too!

I was just looking to add this to the forum;

I was having the same problem on the ADMIN section of my cart. I also have many products that have similar names. When search results came up, they were truncated and I would have to go by the SKU # only.

Changing the truncated setting in this same file fixed that too.

Thank you! :mrgreen:
