Extra space

[PVK]

I noticed that there is an extra space before the product name when you look at the products in the products list.

 

Now this has never really been a problem for me, untill know, when i wnated to place a break between some products name because they were too long.

 

When i did this i noticed that ONLY the first line of the product name had this extra space before the product name starts.

This cause the whole layaout of the products to have a very ugly aligning.

 

DOes anyone know :

A : why the extra space is there

and

B : How to remove it

 

I have tried almost everything but it is pretty hard to look for a space which isn't defined anywhere [well at least i can't find it] ??

 

Drives me slightly insane to find out why its there and especially where it comes from ??????

 

Oh my G. its the attack of the terror spaces :D

Do you mean in products_listing or do you mean in the categories box.

 

There are spaces before the names in the categories box which can be removed from catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php

 

can you provide a link to where this is happening so that a determination can be made as to which files require to be ammended

I meant in product_listing :)

 

I have drawn a little image to make it clear.

 

the first one is the way it is displayed and the red one is when you place a <br> behind one of the words so it breaks to a new line.

 

 

As you will notice the shop places an extra space before the first line [i checked loads of oscommerce sites out there and they ALL have it, so it is something that is standard in the shop by default]

 

 

 

Hope someone knows the answer to this

If you take a look at catalog/includes/modules/product_listing.php you will see that there are spaces being used throughout, however the one for the name should be

 

          case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME':
           $lc_align = '';
           if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) {
             $lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'manufacturers_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] . '&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . $listing['products_name'] . '</a>';
           } else {
             $lc_text = ' <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . $listing['products_name'] . '</a> ';
           }
           break;

the part of code is after the else

} else {

              $lc_text = ' <

Bobobo, you the man !!! :D

 

How did you come up with that?

And also , since you figured it out, maybe you can explain why it is in the code in the first place??

 

Now everything is the way i want it, but as curious as i am, i would like to know what the function or for what reason it is that the programmers of the osc shop have added this :blink:

 

Thanx for your help, it is much appreciated!

Hey any idea how to take out the extra space between header images (called in header.php) ? The space is only shown in ie and makes my tabs look awful
