Product Description and Title not long enough

[Cheeky Chino]

I do not have enough room to add good enough descriptions about my products.

 

1. The product title isnt long enough for long titles, it just cuts of after about 30 or so characters.

 

2. In thwe products description, it wont let you add large amount of product descriptions.

 

 

How do i fix these?

oh and here is an example:

One of the items says its called LIAN LI Aluminium PC Case Mini Tower with Builtin Removable Hard when it should have Drive Bays after it. which that part is cut off :S.

You have to go into the database and change the length of the fields. For the description, you can change it to TEXT instead of VARCHAR, and you'll be able to add a lot of text.

 

I'd be careful about making really long names anyway. It will mess up a lot of alignment and formatting. That's what the description is for. :)

Ok but how is this done exactly?

 

And nah our title isnt going to be tooo long were still watching the formatting issues mainly the descriptions as well.

That depends on how you can get to your database. The easiest way is to go into phpMyAdmin and change the properties on the tables. But that's only if you have phpMyAdmin. You could log into mysql from a prompt and issue an alter table statement, but I don't know how that works. Mysql.com has documentation that would probably help.
