Default Re: Increase Character Limit In Product Review Field

Hi Becky,

I don't have this mod (and I guess not too many people do)- so ultimately BCS could answer the exact location.

However, you could try the following:-
Background: Generally a field's text length is controlled by, what a field's "type" is set to within your SQL table - so you will need to use PHPMyAdmin or similar to log-in and browse your SQL tables to change the field "type".

I would look in the "xcart_product_reviews" SQL table to make sure that when viewing structure, the field "type" for that field you want longer text for, is set to "text" (if you want a lot of text) or "varchar(255}" if you only want 255 letters.

This should fix this problem... unless BCS have added a "truncate" setting in the template. so that when you import reviews data, it cuts the amount of text imported (but I doubt there will be).
Note: if the first step doesn't fix it - then look in the template file for the truncate code and remove it.

Hope this helps - cheers, Asiaplay
