3 Questions Regarding Admin Panel

Hello I am new to cs-cart and have some questions,

I am in admin > website > blog management > articles and I am trying to sort articles by name. How can I do this? Also in admin > products > product the number of the letters of the title is not enough for me to distinguish my long titled products. Can I alter this setting? I need at least 60 or more characters. I dont care if it takes 3 lines. And one more, are there any templates for the admin panel?

Thank you in advance

The first two questions require some code modifications:

1. Replace the following lines:

$params['sort_by'] = 'name';
        $params['sort_order'] = 'desc';

with these ones:

$params['sort_by'] = 'page';
        $params['sort_order'] = 'asc';

in the app/addons/blog/func.php file of your installation.

2. Replace 40 with the necessary value in the following line:

 {$product.product|truncate:40 nofilter}

of the design/backend/templates/views/products/manage.tpl file.

As for themes for the admin panel, you can look for them in our Marketplace: http://marketplace.cs-cart.com.

And one more, are there any templates for the admin panel?

We found only two ones:

http://marketplace.cs-cart.com/?subcats=Y&status=A&pshort=N&pfull=N&pname=Y&pkeywords=Y&search_performed=Y&cid=2&q=backend&dispatch=products.search

You can even remove |truncate:40 at all to display full product name.

Thank you very much for the replies. I will give it a try when we go live

Hello again. I just tried these but none of them work. I edited the files youmentioned, uploaded them, cleared cache but nothing happens. Its the same. Cant figure out why. Mayybe it has something to do with the template I am using? Or there is something else I should change, a setting maybe?

Please try clearing the template cache by removing the var/cache directory of your CS-Cart installation and check the result.

Thank you for the reply, inside the var/cache folder there are 4 subfolders. Misc, registry, static and templates. Should I delete them all?

Yes. These directories will be created again after any page is refreshed in your storefront or CS-Cart admin panel.

No matter (tried name desc name asc date asc, deleted all cache dir from ftp etc) what I do I cannot sort the blog articles inside the admin panel only by name. When I edit a blog article and save and close the sorting gets messed up and there is no way to figure out which articles I edited and which not. This is extremely hard for me. Even if i go website > blog management > blog categories and I press the number to take to me to specific blog posts under a category, if I edit and press save and close it takes me back to root of blog posts so there is no way of knowing which blog post I edited.

Is there any solution for this?

Unfortunately, there is no way to sort blog articles by the date of the last amendment.
