More lines on frontpage

[jgk-dk]

Hi,

Where can I change the frontpage lines to get more information under the product listed in the frontpage?

So you want to increase the length of the featured products desriptions? You can do that by changing line 15 of modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.tpl:

{$product.description_short|strip_tags|truncate:130:'...'}

Change 130 to the maximum number of characters you want displayed.

You will also need to increase the height in the /* Special style for block products in global.css:

#center_column div.products_block p.product_desc {
   height: 9em;
   color: #595a5e
}

Increase the height from 9em until the description no longer overlaps the image.

You will also need to change the height on line 6 of modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.tpl to compensate for the increased height:

{assign var='liHeight' value=342}

is the homefeatured.tpl the one you find in the theme/modules or simply the modules

[url="{$product.link}"]{$product.description_short|strip_tags|truncate:130:'...'}[/url]

I HAVE 121 CHARACTERS AND I INCREASED NUMBER FIRST TO 200 AND THEN TO 300, BUT NO SUCCESS. STILL THE SAME ERROR. IS IT IMPORTANT IN WHICH COLUMN IN CSV FILE IS DESCRIPTION?

WHERE CAN I GET CODES FOR HEIGHT ?
