Product Name - Maximum number of character limits

[Tuan Le]

Is there a way to increase the maxinum number of character limit for "Product Name" ? It seems like my product name always get truncated, even though it is not very long at all. For example, when the full item name is "Chevy Silverado 1500 4.8L/5.3L V8 1999-2004 - 77 Series (Polished)", it would get chopped down to "Chevy Silverado 1500 4.8L/5.3L V8 1999-2004 - 77 Series (Polishe" instead.

 

I've seen few other Oscommerce stores with much longer product name. Just need to figure out what I need to do. Please point me to the right direction. Your help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you

The default length for the products name is 64 characters. You can change that by going through your phpMyAdmin (or other database tool provided by your host) and change the field length for products_name

which you will find in the table named products_description. The maximum length you can set would be 255 characters.
