Making Category Names longer


simplybuses

Hi,

 

I'm trying to find out how to lengthen the amount of characters that can be put in the category names but so far I can't find anything of any help. Please could someone give me a bit of advice?

Category names are stored in the MySQL database, in the categories_description table (field categories_name). I believe that all you need to do to allow longer names is to modify the database field to have more characters.

 

Warning: Changing MySQL table definitions can mess up your store's database. Be sure to back up before attempting this change.

Where can I find the MySQL database? I don't know if it makes any difference, but my store is set up through cPanel?

I've managed to find the category_description folder but I'm not sure how to change it?

 

That depends on a lot of things that can't really be explained via messages. Do you know anyone who's knowledgeable in this area and could walk you through it? Keep in mind that experimenting could mess up your store's database.
