Problem with my bestseller list

[superness]

Hi!

 

I am having a problem with my bestseller list. The product names shown in the bestseller list were incomplete. It seems that the bestseller list have a limit on the number of characters to be shown but i dont know where to change it.

 

You can view my site at http://www.petnessandbeauty.com/ You can see my bestseller list in the left column.

 

Also, how can i make the bestseller list shown on every page. I dont want it to change when i click on a category. It seems that my bestseller list depends on what category the client is viewing.

 

I hope someone can help me with this problem.

Look in the column_left.php and remove the conditional.

 

The length of the item names is likely being truncated by the template, which I am not familiar with. I'd have to look at the code to even guess at it.

Thanks for replying to my question.

 

Here's the code for my column_left.php

catalog/includes/boxes/best_sellers.php is sensitive to which category is displayed, which is why it changes as you navigate the store. To change this behaviour, and get the same result regardless of category, tweak the 'if' statement at the top of the file to only use the second, more general, query.

 

Truncating the names will be a template issue.
