Description Name word limit


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

I've found that the cart has a description name limit. looks like the limit is 56 letters. Has anyone come accross this and does anyone know the fix for this.

 

Thanks

Is there an easier way of doing this ?
No. You have to change the length in the database, as that is where it is set. The simplest way to do this is with something like phpMyAdmin. Most hosts provide this or something like it. products_name is in the products_description table.

What do you want the length to be? It will support values up to 255. By default, the length comes as 64, you can change it to anything in the range 1-255.

So i go into PHPMYADMIN go into my database files and open it from there? Is it like opening it in dreamweaver? or will it go into a word doc and i have to change it from there and then upload it.

 

Thank you

I tried to implement this here on a friend's test store but the most I can get is around 60 characters, even though I changed the table to allow 255 varchar for ‘product_name’ in the product description table.

Do you know if I’m missing something?

 

Thanks!
