How set the max size of product name and center it in my template?

[celeroncillo]

Hi, I want fit the product name to Two lines of caracters.

Example:

product (it see in two lines. the first this description and the second in blank)

another product that the size is too long to see in two lines but example this line (it see in two lines, from the first word to the end of size)

Is possible it?

That I want is make a "perfect" line products. See attach.

It might be better to simply style the text part of the description to be a fixed height capable of holding two lines of text that way it will look like a blank line where required.

Regards.

catalog/includes/modules/product_listing.php

Find:

// end extra product fields            
$lc_align = '';            
if (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id'])) {              
$lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'manufacturers_id=' . $_GET['manufacturers_id'] . '&products_id=' . $listing[$x]['products_id']) . '">' . $listing[$x]['products_name'] . (($gridlist == 'list') ? $short : '') /*begin epf*/ . $extra /*end epf*/ . '</a>';            } else {              
$lc_text = '&nbsp;<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing[$x]['products_id']) . '">' . $listing[$x]['products_name'] . (($gridlist == 'list') ? $short : '') /*begin epf*/ . $extra /*end epf*/ . '</a>&nbsp;';            }            
break; 

and change to:

// end extra product fields            
$lc_align = '';            
if (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id'])) {              
$lc_text = '<div class="product_text"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'manufacturers_id=' . $_GET['manufacturers_id'] . '&products_id=' . $listing[$x]['products_id']) . '">' . $listing[$x]['products_name'] . (($gridlist == 'list') ? $short : '') /*begin epf*/ . $extra /*end epf*/ . '</a></div>';            } else {              
$lc_text = '&nbsp;<div class="product_text"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing[$x]['products_id']) . '">' . $listing[$x]['products_name'] . (($gridlist == 'list') ? $short : '') /*begin epf*/ . $extra /*end epf*/ . '</a></div>&nbsp;';            }            
break; 

Then style the "product_text" div in your stylesheet - try height: 20px;

Not tested so backup before you change!

Hi pgmarshall, I test it today at my website, but if I set 20px height or less in my stylesheet, the prize show over the description, ¿is possible limit the Description to the box?
And this solution don´t show at index page, I try change the size in my stylesheet, but don´t show the result that I want.
Thanks.
