Limit Product Names

[callam_kidsaw]

Hello,

Can someone help me with shortening the name of some products please located in a widget?

It is a default Magento 2 Widget located here:

vendor\magento\module-catalog\view\frontend\templates\product\widget\new\content\new_grid.phtml

I want to shorten product names shown here:

to example: Kidsaw Low Single 3ft Cabin Bed... (the - Grey part is replaced with '...')

If you want to see the widget from Magento Admin, it is located here:

Content > Pages > Edit page > Content > Insert Widget > "Catalog New Products List"

Hi @callam_kidsaw 

You can use the code below to limit product name :

<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ $name = $_item->getName(); ?>
<?php echo $name = strlen($name ) > 50 ? substr($name ,0,50)."..." : $name ;?>

You can override new_grid.phtml  file to your theme folder
Copy new_grid.phtml and add In your theme the same as below directory structure :

vendor\magento\module-catalog\view\frontend\templates\product\widget\new\content\new_grid.phtml

To

app\design\frontend\VendorNme\ThemeName\Magento_Catalog\templates\product\widget\new\content\new_grid.phtml

Add your changes here
