Error in modCatb in Update

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,
I have a client trying to update a category name to Outdoor Heaters, Outdoor Fireplaces, Cast Iron Chimineas

He is receiving an error "Error in modCatb in Update: "

It seems like it is due to some limitation on the length of the category name.

Does anyone know a way around this?

Thanks,
Alex

	A shorter category name :-) How about 3 categories Outdoor Heaters contining the other two, or alternatively allthe products that are in the other two.Really long category names just don't work well in menus or from a useability pov.

	I had the same error. A more descriptive error message would be great.....

	I'm not sure if it's the length. I am getting the same error and it seems to be that the system suddenly doesn't like punctuation marks (i.e. - "()", ",", "/", "&", etc.). Length may play a factor, but I've got pre-existing long category names and ones that have punctuation marks that the system still recognizes, but if I try to make a new category or edit an existing category, I'm getting the "Error in modCatb in Update: " error message. Perhaps a ProductCart patch/update rewrote the files and changed the coding necessary to handle the characters?
