Hi,
The text in the product short description next to the thumb image is truncated after about 35 characters, showing thereafter just a number of full stops .......(See annex).
How can extend the length of this field.
Regards,

category template
<?php echo shopFunctionsF::limitStringByWord ($product->product_s_desc, 40, '...') ?>
I had already before changed 40 into 200, but without result.
Anyhow thanks for your response.

If your in the correct template it has to work - it's a very simple function limitStringByWord() in components/com_virtuemart/helpers/shopfunctionsf.php line 498
The image looks like you are using a template override, so it will be in that template file that the change is needed.
I use <?php echo $product->product_s_desc ?> for the short description without truncate.
I apparently had modified the wrong file. As you were so insisting I continued searching and noticed that the path you indicated in my case, using VM 2.0.24a was incorrect. Based the description I used as path /public_html/components/com_virtuemart/views/category/tmpl/default.php and Yes it worked.
Thanks.
