How to Limit Product Title Characters in Category Page

Post by GetinBuy1 » Mon Oct 09, 2017 5:30 pm

Hello All,
I need a help. I'm using opencart 2.3.0.2 version. When the product title has more characters then it is increasing the height of the product box in the category page and also in the featured page. Please look at the image attached.
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Well, according to the Code used, this Extension should work in OC v.2.3.x as well:
Good Luck!

You have to change the Value: 70 according to your needs!
limit_titles.vqmod.xml (VqMod Version)

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<modification>
<id><![CDATA[Limit characters in the title - category page]]></id>
<version><![CDATA[1.0]]></version>
<vqmver><![CDATA[2.5.1]]></vqmver>
<author><![CDATA[Angela Boartes - Soft Build]]></author>
<file name="catalog/controller/product/category.php">
<operation error="log">
<search position="replace"><![CDATA['name'        => $result['name'],]]></search>
<add trim="true"><![CDATA[
	'name'        => utf8_substr($result['name'],0,70),
]]></add>
</operation>
</file>
</modification>

and if you use OcMod, try this Code, and then rename the FILE-Name to
limit_titles.ocmod.xml (OcMod Version)
and install it by use of the OcMod-Installer:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<modification>
<name><![CDATA[Category Product Name Length]]></name>
<code><![CDATA[product_name_length]]></code>
<version><![CDATA[OC v.2.x]]></version>
<author><![CDATA[Angela Boartes - Soft Build]]></author>
<file path="catalog/controller/product/category.php">
<operation>
<search><![CDATA['name'        => $result['name'],]]></search>
<add position="replace" trim="true"><![CDATA[
	'name'        => utf8_substr($result['name'],0,70),
]]></add>
</operation>
</file>
</modification>
