Change Length of Model #


Lalla

Recommended Posts

Ok, I am getting this error when trying to upload a EP file :

 

22CM-1151-52-56-59-B-SET... ERROR! - Too many characters in the model number.

12 is the maximum on a standard OSC install.

Your maximum product_model length is set to 19

You can either shorten your model numbers or increase the size of the field in the database.

 

So, I thought I was supposed to go into the database and change the length, which I did to 50 (its a lot, but I will be having very long numbers for some sets). It shows that I changed it to 50, but I still get the same error when uploading it again. I made the change in the Product db, is that the wrong place? is there some place else that needs to be changed too? :'(

 

This is very frustrating!!!

 

Thanks for any help,

Lalla

Are you sure you set this too:

 

//**** Size of products_model in products table ****
// set this to the size of your model number field in the db.  We check to make sure all models are no longer than this value.
// this prevents the database from getting fubared.  Just making this number bigger won't help your database!  They must match!
global $modelsize;
$modelsize = 12;

You didn't mention where that is....what file is it in?

Sorry, I assumed you already looked at that file. It's in easypopulate.php

 

If the problem persists read the EP support thread here

Thanks! I just did a search of my test site for the first sentence and it came up which file it was in. I didn't add the EP Contribution myself so I didn't even think to check there.

Thanks again!
