Hey Dan .. I am having the same issue, if you found the resolution would you please share?? Thanks so much! :) I have been searching for the source of this override for EVER and I can't find it ....grrrr....

As I -apparently- bought the same template, I am also curious about the solution from the 15 character limit. Template Monster is currently working on my template issues, but if you know how to solve I can do it myself.

Thanks,

Callan.

Okay everyone ... Template monster got back with me, and offered the following fix:

to increase the length of products' descriptions find the following on the line #58 in theme006\common\tpl_tmfuncs.php:

substr($desc,0,20)

and increase 20 - that is the length


HOWEVER, for me personally "substr($desc,0,20)" was actually on line #17 and #59 and I had to change it in both places for it work.

I also added the following to line #17 and #59, (additional code in red) so that the product description would link to the product and it also adds "click for more" at the end of the mini description:

<span class="main_text"><a href="'.$href.'">'.substr($desc,0,100).'...click for more</span><br>'.zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE.'images/spacer.gif', '', '1px', '9px').'<br>


If you still have trouble let me know, I might be able to help.
