The option to truncate or "limit characters" on the products name is not an option in Zen Cart (I don't think).

You can open /includes/modules/product_listing.php

find:

$listing->fields['products_name']

under case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME':

and change to:
zen_trunc_string($listing->fields['products_name'], 5)

change 5 to the amount a characters you want to display.

hope this helps!

The code is correct but the changes should be made in the template override directory.

instead of /includes/modules/product_listing.php

copy to: /includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE_FOLDER/product_listing.php

Glad you got it to work!

I'm not sure what version Zen Cart your using but I know versions 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 also allow you to append the truncated text like so:

zen_trunc_string($listing->fields['products_name'], 25, '...more')

It will appear like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit ame...more

Wow........ iTs working Thanks hero :) :-*
