Longer Product Names?

I'm using Zen Cart v1.3.9h. I currently have it installed on my local machine testing Zen Cart before I put it to our production environment.

I have just started creating products. We are a retail computer store. Some of our product names are very long. I have run into an issue where the Product Name field in the Create Product page does not allow enough characters for what we are wanting to use.

example product name:

Intel Core i5-650 BX80616I5650 Clarkdale 3.2GHz LGA 1156 73W Dual-Core Desktop Processor - Retail

Is there any way for us to expand the product name field?

Thanks in advance. :cool:

I would shorten the name and include details in the description

Changing the record lenght has to be done in the database using something like phpmyadmin

You can expand the FIELD SIZE in the database. It currently is set to hold 64 characters (VARCHAR=64). You can expand it - I would recommend no larger than 255.

There are a couple of affected TABLES in the database where this field is referenced, and you need to set the VARCHAR value in each instance.

TABLE orders_products
TABLE products_description
TABLE customers_wishlist

Database changes are done via your host account cPanel, using phpMyAdmin.

If you are not familiar with phpMyAdmin, best not to tinker around with a live store. Either test your handiwork on a test install of ZC, or ask someone who does know phpMyAdmin to assist you.

I've changed my products_description...products_name to varchar 125(and products_order..products_name to varchar 125 in my cpanel...but it doesn't change anything in my admin product information length of the product name.
Is there something that I'm missing?
