Hi dear OpenCart'ers,

Lot of my products need long "Description" text.

However 10/10 times, long text is always prematurely cut off/truncated. Here's what the bottom then looks like when previewed: http://i.imgur.com/aU7no04.png

There should be a LOT more text. But it's truncated at that line.

I even compressed the text (no newlines), and it still does it.

Is there anyway to remove the length limit from description?

(Yes, my text is UTF-8 already. So it's not because of that).

Help is appreciated to the moon!!!

Andre

Is all of this text still in your admin if you go and view it in there in the product editor?

When I paste it in admin description editor, the code stays intact.

But as soon as you SAVE, it get's truncated in both Store Front and Admin area.

Then adding additional text on 2nd edit, will still truncate it.

Legendary warrior you are for kindly helping a fellow soul! :D

If you are unable to save a long description on the admin - catalog - product - edit.
Go to Phpmyadmin via your cPanel or hosting.
Go to the product_description tabe.
Change the description from Text to Longtext.

See attached for reference.
