OpenCart Community

Hi,

It is been a while and now i get back to development.
I need a guide how to limit the character in the products; to look good.
Example:
Product description: HELLO WORLD OPEN CART
I need like this view: HELLO WOR......

How to adjust like that kind of view to have a good view; because right now is not look good. Is there any plug in on this?

First of all, what you have marked in the image is not the description, it is the title.
Second, displaying something like "HELLO WOR......" is good?
I would say "HELLO WORD .." looks better - my opinion.
Third, you call yourself a "developer" and now you are asking for such a simple task?

p.s: beeing a "developer" and "Webdesigner" and "promoting" a http website is not the best reputation.
The more this website does not exist!

Sorry, I have not update my signature since 2011. Now is updated. I am not promoting for your information. I was using a different platform before. now that my client request an open cart so i go back here posting in the forum.

My questions is serious and i did not get proper answer.. I know it is a basic questions but i a like new here since 2011 i just get back so 9 years that i have not been working on this.. i need to catch up more time.

but if you give me a proper answer that will help.

.. now that my client request an open cart ..

Means a "custom and paid" job?
Better you post a request in the commercial section of this forum for such tasks: viewforum.php?f=88
because asking for help for free and getting paid is really not the "fine art".

wow! Things have changed a lot since 2011..
Now is more on commercial.
Before; i use to post in a forum to get support in the community.
You mentioned on your previous post is a basic question but you point me in wrong direction.

If it is just a simple question; you consider as a guru knows i supposed.

Maybe one of the Community will help you for free.
But as it seems, you are not understanding the point:
1. you have client
2. you get paid for this (from this client)
3. from this Forum (and his Members) you want a solution for free

Wrong approach.

I am looking for idea on how to get this done. I am not looking for paid solution. For whatever purpose i will use this; this is none of other business anymore.

If you think this is just a simple and "basic" as you say; it is not helpful if you ask a question with a question.

Hello,
You can go with the following:
Instead of editing files directly within the plugin (which is a very bad idea because once update the plugin and all of your changes will be lost!)

add_filter('woocommerce_short_description', 'limit_woocommerce_short_description', 10, 1);
function limit_woocommerce_short_description($post_excerpt){
if (!is_product()) {
$post_excerpt = substr($post_excerpt, 0, 20);
}
return $post_excerpt;
}
