Disable 256 Characters Limit - Hannes - Jul 20th, 2010 Hi Ben, all textarea submissions longer than 256 are cut after this amount of characters also if I set field type to "WYSIWYG Field" and field size to "Very Large (MEDIUMTEXT)". Please advise me how to allow longer submissions. Best regards, Hannes RE: Disable 256 Characters Limit - Ben - Jul 21st, 2010 Hi Hannes, There appears to be some sort of glitch going on. Try this: on the Edit Form -> Database tab, change the size to "Large" (or something), save, then change it back to "Very Large" and save. When I changed a text field to WYSIWYG on the Edit Field page, then change the size from 20 chars to Very Large, the field still only stores 20 chars. Not sure why yet... However, when I manually updated the size via the Database tab, everything seemed okay again. I'll log this as a bug and look into it. Thanks for letting me know! - Ben RE: Disable 256 Characters Limit - Ben - Jul 21st, 2010 Addendum: Okay, I figured it out. This IS a bug; I've logged it here: http://bugs.formtools.org/index.php?cmd=view&id=235 Even though the allocated size of the form field is being stored in the DB, the actual table isn't being updated, hence the truncation of the content. To fix it, just do as described: go to the Warning! Don't reduce the size to something really small - it will truncate all data added up to that point. Just change it to LARGE then back to VERY LARGE. That's safest, considering your scenario. - Ben |
