Product Description length

Recommended Posts

Please can someone help, I am trying to increase the length of my product descriptions. I have added description in the admin section, but when I goto my site it just cuts the majority of the text off.

 

I have tried going to my database (product_description) using myphpadmin and editing some of the values, also I have edited product_info.php increasing the height of the table etc.

 

Please could someone Help me I have been trying for ages but no joy.

 

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

the product description field is defined as TEXT so you should have plenty of space for the description of each item. What's the text size you're trying to enter?

Hi there thanks for response,

 

If the mean font size it is 11, if you mean how many characters it could be anything from 300 to 1000.

 

You are correct it is defined as text.

 

The strange thing is that i have got meta_tags installed and looking at meta_description it pulls all the text that should be displayed, but not in product description

 

Thanks

<?php

define(MAX_DESCR_2,'2000');

?>
