Hi, I'm using OC 1.5.1.3 there seems to be a character limit set in the Information section where I want to paste my Terms & Conditions. When I paste my terms & conditions only half of the information is saved. Does anyone know how to increase this limit?

Thanks in advance.

The description field for information pages is a "text" field, which allows for something like 32,768 characters (you can't increase this). The only validation done is to check that there is a minimum of 3 characters.

You shouldn't be having any issues with the length of your Terms & Conditions, unless you're trying to paste into the wrong field.

Hi Fido-x

Thanks for the quick reply - I've just checked, my terms & conditions have 58,100 characters. There in lies the problem.

EDIT: For those looking for more explanation, the above is an SQL query which you can run in phpmyadmin. It changes description from TEXT which has a 64KB limit to MEDIUMTEXT which has a 16MB limit.

Thanks for your help Ryan

Worked perfectly

Cheers

No problem.

I cannot believe after all these years this is still an issue with Opencart.

I have been sitting here for a good amount of time trying to work out why the Description field was truncating my data. So frustrating.

Thanks Ryan this fixed my problem.

Perhaps the Opencart team can get their act together enough to update this issue.

cheers

Thanks a lot! It is a pitty it is still limited in version 2.3.02.

Works still great with opencart 2.3.0.2
