Need to increase product name char length

[Indigo_Blaze]

hi, I'm trying to increase the number of characters in the product name field. When I enter a new product and validate, I notice smo of the characters have disapeared when I get back to the products list.

 

Anyone know where I can increase the number of characters to keep?

 

Thanks.

You need to go into your database through phpMyAdmin. If your server uses cpanel, that is the place to do it. Find the field that is called products_name and under Type you will see someting like varchar(64). That restricts the number of characters to 64. On the far right of that line you will see a pencil. Clicking on the pencil will allow you to edit that field. Change the 64 to whatever number you need and you should be okay after that.
