I want to limit the length of the product name on the front end. I have the following code in the list.phtml

<a class="product-item-link" href="<?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ $_product->getProductUrl() ?>">
<?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getName(), 'name') ?></a>

How I can limit the product name to 50 characters for example?

Thank you

You can use like below sample code.

<?php
$productName = $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getName(), 'name');
$len = strlen($productName);
?>
<a class="product-item-link" href="<?php echo /* @escapeNotVerified */ $_product->getProductUrl() ?>">
    <?php echo substr($productName,0,50); ?>
    <?php if($len > 50) echo '...'; ?>
</a>

substr function will truncate product name (string)

Try below code

  • @Abhishek I have truncated product name but special characters are getting corrupted while truncating product names. Is there any solution to prevent this? – Chintan Kaneriya Apr 3 '19 at 5:50

You can use Pure CSS for this, rather on code level, limiting character from code may me a little bad for SEO.
