This extension adds the "Short name" field to the product editing form and allows you to display the product's second name in product lists in the catalog, categories and modules, as well as in breadcrumbs and default product manager of the OpenCart admin panel.
What is a short product name for? For example, to optimize a site against overspam, that is, to remove frequently repeated words and phrases on pages that are indexed by search engines. You can also use this module if your products have a very long full name, then you can use the second short product name in product lists in categories, manufacturers, on the search page, promotions, in different modules and in breadcrumbs in the product card.
Where will the short name of the product be displayed:
in the product catalog (category, manufacturer, search, specials, product modules);
in the way of breadcrumbs
in the list of products in default product manager in the admin panel
Module installation instructions:
Upload the module in the admin panel in the "Extensions" : "Install".
Go to the "Modifications" section and update the cache.
Go to the "Dashboard" section and update the template cache.
