Cannot See Complete Item Description

[datawebcorp]

When viewing products in the Admin section (Manager Products), the complete title of some items does not appear as the title is too long. With versions prior to 4.0, I could simply point to the title and the complete title would appear in a pop-up box. With 4.0, I just see the 3 dots indicating a title that's too long to show, but there's no way to see the complete title.

[TWT-Chris]

Yes, this is the way 4.0 was setup.

Um, OK.

The pop-up box was obviously a useful feature. Is there a reason it was removed? Opening a dozen items so I can find the right one is a tad, make the very, cumbersome.

there were other 3.5.1 features that were very useful that TWT removed with the "upgrade" so dont feel too bad :) check the other threads for those "gone" features. Gone with the "upgrade" ... :)

and just for reference let's look at upgrade's definition:

I cannot think of a logical reason for removing such useful functionality, so I am hoping that this was simply an over site that will be corrected in an upcoming update.

[miloheckport]

in the global.php and adminglobal.php search for the function shortenit and up the value to like 80 for the length. That is what I did.. I also added a height parameter to the sub categories list field which was way to small to manage categories when you have over 100 like my shop..

[datawebcorp]

In global.php I found numerous shortenit functions. I don't know which to change.

In adminglobal.php I found no shortenit functions.

Any advice is appreciated.

TWT,

Is there any hope this is going to get addressed in an update?

I don't think turnkey is going to change the length.. I would just update global.php like I suggested.. Just change the value wherever you see the function being used - it will not hurt anything. Just keep a backup of the original global.php file just incase you screw something up..It is worth taking an hour of your time to figure it out - trust me it is not that difficult to update since you are just change the value of the length parameter that is being passed to the function.. good luck...

Thanks. I will do as you suggested.

What I was hoping for was what we had in v3.51; the description became a link that if pointed to would display the entire title in a pop-up box.

Thanks again for your help.
