For anyone interested... I changed this:
<x-cart> main/products.tpl
Code:
<a href="product.php?productid={ $products[cat_num].productid }">
<font class=TableCenterSubCategoryListTitleBlue> { $products[cat_num].product|escape|truncate:35:"...":false} </font>
</a>
to this:
Code:
<a href="product.php?productid={ $products[cat_num].productid }">
<font class=TableCenterSubCategoryListTitleBlue> { $products[cat_num].productcode|escape|truncate:35:"...":false} { $products[cat_num].product|escape|truncate:35:"...":false} </font>
</a>
Hope that makes it easier for anyone in the future, Its probably a simple thing for the experienced, but for us smarty newbies... its a whole new world.
