Product Description length

webb_worx · November 29, 2007

Hi, I know this sounds easy but I can't find where to extend the maximum value for the text title and description allowed to be displayed for each product in my catalogue on the category pages? Instead it's cutting out half the words and isn't reading properly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Brooke

Please post a link demonstrating this problem.

You extend the number of characters allowed for the product name by editing the product_name field in the product_description table via phpMyAdmin, and forestalling the obvious next question - "No, you cant do it any other way".

Set it to VARCHAR 255 - and that should be enough for even the most long-winded Product Name.

Product description length

Admin >> Configuration >> Maximum Values ->> Product Description, change the value

Product Title character length

Access your data base (PHPmyAdmin)
Select the table: products_description
Tick the box for: products_name
Click on the pencil icon to "change"
Change the "Length/Values*" from what you have to what you want (default is 64)
Click SAVE

Hi Jon,

I've changed the VARCHAR a long time ago to 100 but it isn't making a difference. I just noticed an error notification at the bottom of the page "More than one INDEX key was created for column `products_name`" Is it possible this is the problem? If so do i just delete the 2nd one?

products_name INDEX

products_name_2 INDEX

Visit My Website

I'm so scared to delete anything on my website now....

Regards,

Brooke

You should be OK to delete this, it is probably an error.

But to be safe, back up your db.

Go in and click on the edit button for the second index and print thre screen off.

Then come out and delete the second index.

Then test your site.

If it is OK, no problem.

If you have a problem you can use the screen shot to recreate the duplicate index or reload the db from your backup.

OK I got rid of the 2nd product name index after backing up with no problems but it still didn't fix the titles of my products being cut short? >_<

Wahhh, is this embarrassing... I'm rading through this thread and I posted to you, Brooke, in December... So sorry! Good job Mr W stepped in to help.

Looks like your 10-character limitation is happening within your index.php and products_new.php. It's fine in product_info.php.

Can you post your products_new.php (in codetags)?

Thanks for following it up still Jon,

Warning it's a long file....

I can't find the right value to change?

Thanks,

What happens when you delete the final <?php, which I don't think should be there.

Sorry I left out some of the top and bottom of the coding. The whole thing is as follows with what's suppose to be under the last <?php.

I think all that was edited was the price was removed from the products.

So if you uploaded this original version, what happens?

Before you FTP, rename the server's products_new.php by adding SAVE at the end. Then upload the original.

Unfortunately nothing...

These files are identical. Can I ask where you got this template?

OK I think I've found the original zip of the template I'll try the products_new.php from it.

still no change. I think it's the same file too, straight from the zip?

Hi Brooke,

Before we go any further with this, I read some posts where just this week you deleted much of your site in error. It happens. And you didn't have a local backup of files and your data base, did you?

Did this problem begin after the oops? How did you get your site files back? And are they current?

I had this problem from the time my host server provider installed the shop for me.

I did have a backup zip on the server and a backup of the database locally as well as on the server.

I had to download the zip of my backup from the server and reupload it using CPanel backup. I also still had to upload the php files for the admin to show and the index file for the shop to show.

So I finally got a reply from the store I purchased the template from it was in the header.php :rolleyes:

At the bottom of the includes/header.php file there's a set of constants:

define(MAX_DESCR_1,'30');

define(MAX_DESCR_NAME,'10');

define(MAX_DESCR_NAME_SHOPPCART,'35');

define(MAX_DESCR_NAME_BOX,'35');

They define how many characters will be kept in descriptions and titles throughout the template. The rest of the characters will be cut off. Just use bigger values here.

Thanks again Jon for your help. :)

Well, you got the job done :) Plenty of people to help around here. Help pickings get mighty slim, though, when you're working with a template :)

Glad you are sorted out now :)
