Long title (and other fields) character limit

Hi all

Ive been asked by a client to extend the amount of characters the manager will accept in the Long Title field - can people please comment on whether this is a good idea? and what spinoff effects thismight produce, like will mySQL go mad?

messing around with manager script scares me.

cheers

Hi,

I’ve made a change close to what you ask.
I had to extend the menu title length (max:30 by default).
To achieve this :
I’ve changed the menutitle field in db to suit my needs (varchar:35)
and changed in manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_content_dynamic.action.php the maxlength in the form for input tag.

Till now these changes don’t seem to affect MODx but it’s at your own risk

:-)

Thanks for your advice!

Ive changed my menutitle length like you, the varchar for pagetitle is 255 in the db, so it only need changing in manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_content_dynamic.action.php! yay!
