Sub categories letter limit

I'm setting up sub categories (using betterCategories) but it is limiting me the number of letters in a sub category title. It cuts me off and won't let me write as long as my sub category title is supposed to be. How can I change that?

Re: Sub categories letter limit

The categories letter limit is one of the coolest parts of Zen Cart, and more complicated parts of the Zen Cart structure. they are controlled by the limit in the DB
the quick and easy way to change this is to log on to phpmy admin or what ever you use for data base modding and change the character limit in the CATEGORY_NAME column in the CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION table to what ever you need it to be.

This way you will never over do your database.

Re: Sub categories letter limit

Duh! I guess it's not a bad idea to look into the DB first - but I was looking for the "easy way out" through admin :)

Thanks!
