No space enough for long product names

No space enough for long product names

Hi,

Many products names have more than 8 letters.

But when I enter a more than 8 letters-long product,

The word is cut in the page"cart.php"
The word is cut AND is written ON the price in- "Admin/Products_Detail.php" page

How can this problem be avoided ?
Note :I tryed to solve this by changing the maximum number of letters and the css file but I didn't succeed.


Please help. Thank you.

This was done so that the layout would stay consistent with long product names. You can change this be finding the following code on those two pages:

php:
<h2 title="<?php if (strlen($WA_Store_Cart->DisplayInfo("Name")) > 11) echo ($WA_Store_Cart->DisplayInfo("Name")); ?>">

<?php echo substr($WA_Store_Cart->DisplayInfo("Name"), 08); ?>
<?php 
if (strlen($WA_Store_Cart->DisplayInfo("Name")) > 11) echo "..."?></h2>



and changing it to:

php:
<h2 title="<?php if (strlen($WA_Store_Cart->DisplayInfo("Name")) > 11) echo ($WA_Store_Cart->DisplayInfo("Name")); ?>">

<?php echo $WA_Store_Cart->DisplayInfo("Name"); ?>
</h2>

I really needed to know how to display the whole product name as well. This is why using the forum for support is such a great idea. Thank you Jason.

I hope that for German customers (who have very often long words) or for long detailed products names a solution will be found for a 20 letters word :)
Sometimes long words are self-explainatory.

Thank you Jason.

Hi brunodarwin371999,

The solution we had in place for that was to set the title for the H2 tag to be the name;

<h2 title="<?php if (strlen($WA_Store_Cart->DisplayInfo("Name")) > 11) echo ($WA_Store_Cart->DisplayInfo("Name")); ?>">

In this case if the word is to long to display on the page, it will show truncated, if you hover your mouse over the truncated word, you will see the entire string.
