Product Title in One line. add (.....) From in line end..

i want to one line, title, to my every product in product listing page...

like tht..

To

Please help

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

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

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
