Increase Product Tag Character Limit from 32 to 80

[Balks]

Hi All,

 

I have spent weeks searching for a solution without success and am hoping you might be able to assist.

 

We currently use a module which requires us to enter text in the Product "Tag" Field for it to work correctly and currently this field is limited to 32 characters. I need to increase this character limit from 32 to a 80 characters.

 

See below field i am referring (attached)

 

 

When i try to enter a sentence with 80 character length it appears fine but when i hit save and stay the entry gets cut down to 32 characters and anything over this is simply cut off and disappears.

 

Is there a way to change this character limit from 32 to 80?

 

I understand that i may need to use phpadmin to change the "NAME" field in the "ps_tag" table VARCHAR value from 32 to 80 but when i do this it makes no difference.

 

Prestashop Version: 1.6.1.5

 

Any assistance that can be offered is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Balks.

You need to do more than just increase the length in phpMyAdmin. You'll also need to create override/classes/Tag.php with the following:

<?php

class Tag extends TagCore
{
    public function __construct($id = null, $name = null, $idLang = null)
    {
        self::$definition['fields']['name']['size'] = 80;
        parent::__construct($id, $name, $idLang);
    }
}
