Re: menu not displaying full text

This is bacause the category name is too long. The display is controlled here:

/includes/modules/sideboxes/manufacturers.php

Line #52 : ```php
$manufacturer_sidebox_name = ((strlen($manufacturer_sidebox->fields['manufacturers_name']) > MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) ? substr($manufacturer_sidebox->fields['manufacturers_name'], 0, MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) . '..' : $manufacturer_sidebox->fields['manufacturers_name']);

Go to admin > Tools > Developers Toolkit and enter MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN in the top left box, select all main language files and search. 
You will see a form that describes the constant and gives you the option of changing its value.


Ack! That's where it was!... Forgot the setting location...
