Downloaded all he files, ran the SQL. but no new sidebox in layout boxes controller.

I am using the gloss black template but there is only a gloss_black folder in includes/templates.

Should I change ALL of the YOUR_TEMPLATE to gloss_black?

Hello Clyde,

I am having a problem with the maximum title length. I am trying to input a title that is longer than 64 characters. It seems like this is the maximum allowed because it is a varchar(64) text box. I am wondering how if I can have titles longer than 64 characters?

I am running 1.3.9f and v3.5.3c, it was a new install I setup yesterday. My website is http://www.glasspeace.com

Thank you very much for this mod and for your help!

You'll have to change that directly in the database table.

I am not exactly sure how to do that. I am a beginner with zen cart, I feel lucky this is the first time I've had to ask for help. It's amazing the amount of support you can get just by browsing the forums. I just don't want to mess anything up.

I went into PHPmyadmin

I found the spot where links_title is set to varchar(64)
I just don't know what the correct setting should be. I tried changing the Length/Values but that didn't seem to change anything. Then I tried changing the varchar(64) to text. That brought up an error.

Thanks for the quick reply

open phpmyadmin

select the database for zen cart
select the links description table
click the structure button at the top
select links title
click edit
change the 64 to the length you want
click save

That's how I tried to change it earlier.

I figured out that after making those changes to the datable, I can only input a long title through the web submission page. If I try to enter the link through the admin I can only enter 64 characters.


I don't need a fix for that, it just may be something you can fix in future versions

Thank you for your support
