More Characters In Category Name

Hello,

Can't find where to increase the number of characters I can use in a category name.

Thanks

You probably have to do it directly at the datbase level with phpMyAdmin - I've seen forum replies giving that solution for product name length.

Thanks - I will look into that

Brian,

Bunyip is absolutely correct. If I remember correctly, they are varchar 32 right now and you can increase that up to 255.

Yes, I found it, and for future reference the proper code to use in the SQL is

ALTER TABLE `categories_description` CHANGE `categories_name` `categories_name` VARCHAR( 64 ) NOT NULL

This changes the character allowance from 32 to 64 for this table.
