[SOLVED] Field description longer? was created by kath

hi there,

can i somehow configure field descriptions longer than 256(?) chars?
Or would that be a hack somewhere on DB level and potentially overwritten on update?

thanks & best regards,
kath

you need to update bdd to change value ...

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hello

newer FLEXIcontent version have this field set to type "text"
but no code was added to change type for new installations

- you can open in phpmyadmin the DB table:
flexicontent_fields
and change it

or you can execute this SQL (replace 'PPP' with your Joomla DB prefix)

Code:

ALTER TABLE `PPP_flexicontent_fields` CHANGE `description` `description` TEXT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL;
