need to remove the ... from description

[paulsra]

does anybody know how to remove the ... (the three dots) from the category description on the home page.
for that matter, all together.?

and also the product count in categories on the home page only?

i am using the designer version with the default template ver 3.1

thanks

This change requires the developer edition, is that what you have?

It always helps to know what numeric version your using, if its developer or designer and what template your using. Without knowing that info up front it can be difficult and time consuming for those looking to help you.

Yes and no

the actual dots and being placed there by a call to the language file. if you open the language file english.php and look for the following line...

define("LANG_DOT_DOT_DOT", "...");

change it to

define("LANG_DOT_DOT_DOT", "");

and that will remove the dots from the category list BUT it will also remove the dots for every other place that uses the same constant. Exactly where that is off the top of my head I dont know.

From memory that is only used in the category display so that will be fine to change that.

open home.tpl.php in your template folder and look for the following...

{html_table_adv loop=$data cols=$cols table_attr='width="100%"'}
	[[start_link]]<img src='[[image]]' border='0' alt='[[name]]' /></a> [[start_link]]<strong>[[name]]</strong></a>
	([[total]])
	<br />
[[subcats]]
{/html_table_adv}

and remove ([[total]])
