Viewed Product (Right Column): Extending Character Limit

[philee]

Hi,

 

I've been using FireBug to try and figure out how to extend the right column character limit, but can't figure out what's the CCS code to enable this. I tried using truncate but this didn't fix my situation.

 

The current code for the Viewed Product Block is below from FireBug.

 

div#viewed-products_block_left ul li.last_item {
margin: 0;
}
div#viewed-products_block_left h5 {
padding: 5px 0 0;
}
div#viewed-products_block_left h5 a {
font-weight: bold;
color:  #fff;
}
div#viewed-products_block_left p {
color: #fff;
font-size: 12px;
}
div#viewed-products_block_left p img {
margin: 8px 0 0 18px;
}

 

 

Code from the ViewedProduct.TPL

 

<!-- Block Viewed products -->
<div id="viewed-products_block_left" class="block products_block">
<h4>{l s='Viewed products' mod='blockviewed'}</h4>
<div class="block_content">
 <ul class="products clearfix">
  {foreach from=$productsViewedObj item=viewedProduct name=myLoop}
   <li class="clearfix{if $smarty.foreach.myLoop.last} last_item{elseif $smarty.foreach.myLoop.first} first_item{else} item{/if}">
 <a href="{$link->getProductLink($viewedProduct->id, $viewedProduct->link_rewrite, $viewedProduct->category_rewrite)}" title="{l s='More about' mod='blockviewed'} {$viewedProduct->name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}"><img src="{$link->getImageLink($viewedProduct->link_rewrite, $viewedProduct->cover, 'medium')}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" width="{$mediumSize.width}" alt="{$viewedProduct->legend|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" /></a>
