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

yes you can place it to stylesheet.css... mostly browsers has inspection function. so you can simply click F12 and play with your page...

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>

Well, if you really plan to play around with OC, you'll need to find out,
how Opencart works. You'll find some links on this here:

Have you tried the solution, so far? According to the suggestion above, there shouldn't be much or any difference.

Hi,
maybe i'm pulling an old thread back from the dead, but just wanted to let ya'll know I've checked on OC version 3.0.3.9 and IP_CAM's solution works.
As i couldn't install via OC mod I modified the file itself.
What is did is;
1. go to your source file ...catalog/controller/product/category.php
2. open the file in an editor
3. find the line: 'name' => $result['name'], (line 202 in my file)
4. replace the line with: 'name' => utf8_substr($result['name'],0,20),
5. save the file and you are done!
Thanks again for sharing IP_CAM!

Sorry but if you can't find the path to the stylesheet you do not have basic working knowledge.
I suggest you try the free extension posted above.
