How to fix the extra space under the Featured Products on the index

[RogerT]

I've recently been playing with PrestaShop and decided to become a little active in the community seeing as I plan on using it for some time to come. Hi everyone

As you may or may not have noticed, on the default theme for the new prestashop 1.2 final (don't know about the older versions) there is a grey buffer at the bottom of the featured products on the homepage.

To fix this:
Open
site.tld/modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.tpl

Find the line
{assign var='liHeight' value=360}
Replace with
{assign var='liHeight' value=350}

Enjoy

I played with it myself and it's absolutely perfect if you do it at:

{assign var=‘liHeight’ value=345}

that's right at the cusp.

Yes but if you have a big gap at the bottom how do you fill that, or move the featured products box down? ....attached pic shows size of gap.

Many ways?

1- Add more featured products
2- Add something else in the middle
3- Instead of shrinking the grey background, make it longer, but it'll be plain

Hi there,
I'd want to remove some space at the featured product "short description" so that it can contain only 2 lines.
And increase the space for "Product name" so that it can display up to 5 lines instead of 2 lines by default.
Thanks.

Found solution:
Remove extra space at home featured bottom
modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.tpl >> {assign var=‘liHeight’ value=360} >> set value to 225
Increase space for "Featured product name"
(global.css >> #center_column div.products_block h5 { >> set height 2.5 to 5.5em)
Increase 35 to 85 chars for "Featured product name"
(modules\homefeatured\homefeatured.tpl >> {$product.name|escape:htmlall:'UTF-8'|truncate:35})
Hide "Featured product short description"
(global.css >> #center_column div.products_block p.product_desc >> set height 9.5 to 0em)

Hi guys, regarding this

(Increase 35 to 85 chars for “Featured product name” (modules\homefeatured\homefeatured.tpl >> {$product.name|escape:htmlall:‘UTF-8’|truncate:35})


I can't seem to find this in the latest prestashop:

$product.name|escape:htmlall:‘UTF-8’|truncate:35})



Which line did you guys find it on..?

[rocky]

It is on line 14 of modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.tpl. If it isn't on yours, it must have been deleted somehow.
