[Typo3-shop] Crop text of the products in list view

[Jernej Zorec]

I think that you are suggesting to modify the source code of tt_products.
That's exactly what I can't do.
Remember that this ext is used by another pages. So I can't edit
the code of tt_products, because it is installed globaly.

I think that the solution is something like this:
1) somehow modify the output in typoscript template
2) or making a new extension which extends already existing extension 
tt_products. This ext would then be installed locally just for the page
that I need.

Problem is that I don't know how to do neither of these :).
