Extending Name Length

[almightyferret]

I'm trying to figure out how to increase the maximum number of characters that can be put in the name of a product. I've seen the other relevant posts and they don't help. There isn't something to change in the max values part and I'm not seeing where it is in the code itself. I tried searching for the character cap, which I tested to be 75, but I didn't find that anywhere. Any ideas?

If you have access to phpmyadmin or similar, you can go in and change the value. You need to go into the products_description table and change products_name from varchar(64) to what you require - upto varchar(255) to play it safe.

Where is the phpmyadmin file? I've looked for it and don't see it (I'm new to oscommerce).

there is no phpmyadmin file. It's a tool. Check if your host supplies it, via the cpanel. For info how to use it you could search the internet for phpmyadmin tutorial or check the documentation of the tool.
