model number - how to increase maximum filed size?

You have php admin? Under the table products you want to increase the value of the field PRODUCTS_MODEL. click change and the length param. is there.

Hi, just browsing the forums in effort to solve my own problem, which is this same problem.. I have checked the table and field in php myadmin and my attribs are set to allow a length of 255 characters. Yet, EP is still griping that my field length maxes at 15 char and my model #'s are too long..

Are there other locations or something else that needs to be modified for this increase to work?

Thanks -

ERROR! - Too many characters in the model number.
12 is the maximum on a standard OSC install.
Your maximum product_model length is set to 15
You can either shorten your model numbers or increase the size of the field in the database.[img][/img]

xpressed, try not to crosspost on the same topic as your other post, and in a 4 month dead thread. It makes it difficult for the rest of us to weed through many identical posts every day. Thanks. See my reply to your other post about model field length...
