auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 14.0

Set how many lines of the product name and description appear on each product card in the /shop page, per website. Longer text is cut off with an ellipsis.

This module adds a setting to control the height of the product name/description block shown on the shop page. For each website you can choose how many lines of text are displayed before the rest is hidden.

Where to find it: - In Website settings, under the product catalog section, a new field "Row count in description" lets you enter the number of lines. - The value is stored per website, so different websites can show a different number of lines.

Business rules and behaviour: - The default number of lines is 1. - The value must be greater than 0; entering 0 or a negative number is blocked with a validation message. - On the shop page, the product name/description area is limited to the chosen number of lines; any extra text is cut off and shown with suspension dots.

Areas touched: - Website settings (res.config.settings) and the website model. - The shop product card template (website_sale.products_item).
