Hello
I am writing my T&C's and there seems to be a cutoff length for the text.
MS Word tells me I have written 640 words and 3,500 characters with spaces.
Is there a way to increase this limit for the T&C's and any other 'information' pieces I may write?
Thanks in advance
Lawrence

The text field in the database is in 'TEXT' format and has a limit of around 65kb (I read it somewhere) - if you want more than this, you'll need to change the text field in the database to something like LONGTEXT

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE  `information_description` CHANGE  `description`  `description` LONGTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL

Thanks for the reply, sorry if this sounds stupid, but what file do I find that in?

This is not a file it is a database field.

Use phpMyAdmin or something similar.

Using LONGTEXT seemed to work, thank you!
