Doc Holliday Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hello. I seem to be restricted to the amount of charcters I can enter in the Product Name box when inputting new products, so I don't get the full name displayed in the product table. Is there a way of setting the amount of characters, or have I, perhaps, altered something unwittingly along the way? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The size of the title is defined in the products_description table / field product_name . On our site its 99 characters long so if you enter anything over it cuts it off. You can edit this length, the easiest way is to install phpmyadmin on your server and you have direct access to your database. Then you can edit the database in a visual format using a windows interface as opposed to learning mySQL statements. There shouldnt be a problem increasing the length of the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
