Any way of making the Custom Title field a bit longer? Is this something easy?

It is currently a varchar(30), it is theoretically expandable, but I am unsure of the impact of doing so elsewhere in the software. Probably suck it and see would be the best approach, try expanding it to a length of 50, if it crashes somewhere you'll know you have a problem.

I'll settle for 40. Where do I change it?

In phpMyAdmin wowbb_users table structure, select the field and alter the length attribute.

I've got the maxlength set in the html also, need to change that. I'm out the door, it would have to be done in each active theme.

I was changing the wrong one I think. One was custom_title the other custom_user? something like that. I changed custom title from 30 to 40. Still didn't do anything. HTML? Is that in the admin panel? Thanks! Last edited on Sun Mar 7th, 2010 12:53 pm by snooze |

I only use one theme, btw. Don't ever want to have to do all this stuff more than once!

I better check and see what "you done" because it is user_custom_title in the database as of 1.17 unless Steph out did me.

Looks like you found it OK and changed it. Both in the database and the template... good job!

uh... couldn't find it anywhere other than a profile pop up in the template, and it didn't seem to change the length when I go into 'edit profile'. Is it somewhere else?

Hi Snooze, For the input tag, change size to match maxlength: <input type="text" maxlength="40" size="40" ... Maxlength is the maximum number of characters which can be entered. Size is the width of the box, showing how many characters are visible without scrolling. regards, Martin.

Yes anything in the admin panel is in it's own template. /admin/admin_templates.txt So you want to be able to change them... I always thought of it as a user function. Users can make it longer for themselves the way it is.
