How to increase max title length when import via csv

Hi,

I have a problem that I need to import many items that have long title (more than 255) via CSV import.

I have changed structure of title, alias and title-alias column of #_contents table from varchar(255) to text but it still not work.

Please help me, I have no idea about this.

Regards,

Hello,
we have done a lot of work in CSV import view, of course, despite powerful particular scenarios not be possible.

about your question

- the only limitation should be at the DB table, because inside code i don't see or (remember) any place to put this limit,

but without taking time to test this i cannot say the limitation maybe by some function of joomla.

a question: when looking at the DB table , then you see the text being truncated? or you see it truncated when item EDIT form loads ?

Hi

micker,
Thank you for your suggestion, but I prefer to save my money because I think the extention is too expensive for me and I have already make software to convert my data to csv.

ggppdk,
Thank you for your support,
About your question, when I import some long title items the browser(chrome) is loading for a while, then they show 'connection error page' but when I delete the long title items it's work!!.

In debug mode, It's show correct long title.

FYI, I have attach 'example.csv' that contain a confusing long title item. (title is Thai lang with UTF-8 encoding)
