Hi !
Very good script ! Thank you !
I've got a problem with text description and html entities. Sometimes the cut (230 caracters) split a html entities... So I've got an "&eac" in the decription, etc...
How can I define cutting with a number of words ?
Thank you
Hi,
I have posted a similar solution before to break the description on a word boundary during import; but the same technique can be used to make sure the break is on a space when the description is cropped for the search results.
Currently, the description is cropped by this line in html/searchresults.php (line 20):
<p><?php print substr($product["description"],0,250); ?></p>To break on the nearest word _after_ 250 characters, replace the above with the following:
<p><?php
$breakLimit = 250;
if (strlen($product["description"]) > $breakLimit)
{
// find the first space after the limit
$breakOffset = strpos($product["description"]," ",$breakLimit);
// if found, crop the description and add "..."
if ($breakOffset !== false)
{
$product["description"] = substr($product["description"],0,$breakOffset)."...";
}
}
print $product["description"];
?>
</p>
Simply change the value of $breakLimit for more or less description...
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
