How can you increase the item title length?

hmmm Never thought of that. Pretty much everything. I would like to add more than what I'm able to and it cuts it off and it looks bad. it will go like this "TITLE OF SOMETHING REALLY REALLY REALLY IMPORTA" You know what I mean??

Well, Basically, all the titles for all my products

 

example:

GeForce4 MX4000 GPU with 128MB DDR memory. 8X

AGP, Direct X8

 

It cuts it of aafter the "X8". I would like to be able to add at least another 25-30 characters.

 

Thanks

In the products_description table there is a products_name field. By default it is set to type VARCHAR(64). Change this 64 to however many characters you'd like your title to have. I set mine to 72 and haven't had any problems with it.

 

Remember, [spaces] count as characters too.

Thanks that works perfect. I bumped it up from 64 to 200 Characters. No problems...

I just found out that the order_products table has a products_name field. The VARCHAR(value) for this field must match what you put for the products_name in the products_description table.
