Showing Full Description

[derf_irl]

Hi

 

Can anybody please help, I am trying to set things up so when people click into a product category it gives a full description as some of it is cut off and you can only get the full details if yougointothe actual product. Below is a link to showwhat I mean.

Product Name is cutting off at 64 characters, same on the product info page.

 

You need to manipulate the database to be able to store a bigger name.

 

ALTER TABLE `products_description` CHANGE `products_name` `products_name` VARCHAR( 128 ) NOT NULL;

 

And then you need to amend every one of your long products names in your Admin Area ;)

Also, the copyright to the theme in your shop is owned by osCommerce ;)

Have a think about changing the site look.

Thanks for the help but how do I implement those changes ?

 

PS This is a newsite that is still under development and changes but I thought oscommerce was open source so how is it copyrighted ?

 

Thanks

Open Source and Copyright are two entirely different things.

 

The theme of your site belongs and is copyrighted to osCommerce. You cannot claim copyright.

 

 

 

Use PHPMyAdmin to manipulate your database.

Hi

 

I have done the database change but not sure what you mean about amending every one of my long product names in the admin area ?

 

Thanks
