1- When the product has a long name ,I want to shorten it when it appears in the Homepage.

You'd want to use sub string to shorten off the text:

Tcalp thanks

Could you give me steps more clearly Where can I put these ,please

hello guys
Could anyone explain me more clear please

It looks like your titles are already using substr(). To shorten them just adjust the last number in the operation. This is most likely found in the conroller for your list, module, feed, or other area. These are found in yourstore/catalog/controller/ in whatever folder is applicable. So find the controller file you need and look for the title var or whatever is making product titles.

For example, it may look something like this in one of those controllers: What does it mean?
- Cut the output of $result['name'] off when i say
- Start from 0 which is the first char
- Count 100 chars of $result['name'] then stop
- Only output 100 chars of $result['name']

By changing the 100, it changes the chars it outputs from the string/title. So if you enter 50, it will make your titles half as long. Keep in mind, each area of display probably has its own controller, so adjust it everywhere
