    Default Product Names Being Truncated to 15 Characters

    When I click on the Categories and it displays my products, the product names are truncated to 15 characters but when I click the product the product name will appear correctly.

    Is there an option to change this setting?

    Do you have an add-on or a template that is doing this?

    Did your template come from Tempate Monster? Do you have a "Details" button instead of an add to cart or more info button?
    If so, I'm 99 44/100ths percent sure that the template has hard-coded a truncation of the product name, using custom TM constants, variables and functions. It may or may not be in /includes/modules/your_template/product_listing.php.

    Default Re: Product Names Being Truncated to 15 Characters

    I know this is an old thread but it helped me and I thought the following might help someone else:

    I found the same problem in my template (from Template Monster). Mine was limited to 40 chars. I found the offending code in /includes/modules/your_template/common/tpl_tmfuncs.php in the function tm_head()

    The code was:

    <div class="title2_txt">'.substr($text,0,40).'<br>

    I changed this to 75 but the admin interface only allows you to enter 64 chars so you'll never reach that.

    You have to make a change in phpmyadmin:
