Default RE: Long Catagory Names

You will have to change the database structure, as it is currently limited to 32 charcaters. Change the field length in the database to whatever you need. It is in the categories_description table, and the field is categories_name.

Hi, Well I changed the 32 characaters? to 72 and that did no help. Check out the README_ocCMax _GRAPHICS where it says:

Known Issues:

Remedy for your own products 1) Keeps names Short
and it goes on to explain how to remove "notifications infobox from store.
I tried the fix and it the right side of the page disapeared.

Any thoughts on this how to fix it?

If you don't like the dhtml display, switch to the standard categories display, it will wrap your text. Do this in admin - configuration.
