[julial]

Hi again...!!

Can someone tell me if it´s possible to have long names in Category title and Name?? In my institution whe use long names and when I´m creating a new category it only allow me to write 50 characters for both of them (title and name)

I check the structure in the DB and it suppose to allow 250... am I right??

Please help me.... Thank you!

This was a little bug that slipped past me. The DB allows 250 but the HTML only allows 50.

maxlength="50"

I've changed this and attached a "quick" patch to this thread. Just overwrite the old file and reload. It should work fine.

Hi Jordan thank you for the file, but I have to say that file doesn't work.
In the front page i had this error

Notice: Undefined variable: mos_absolute_path in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\...\components\com_ionfiles\ion files.php on line 14

and in the back end still do not allow me to have more than 50 chars categories and names.

I compare the admin.ionfiles.html.php with the original ionfiles.php and they are very diferent...

Maybe you can indicate me where and what to change in the old ionfiles.php??

thank you again!!

Change

PHP Code:

maxlength="50" 


to

PHP Code:

maxlength="250" 


in your admin.ionfiles.html.php file. Hopefully I will get time to release a minor update this week. There are a couple of things I need to fix.

Hi agan Jordan! I changed the value where you said, but I still got the same error in my front end side and in back end the category and title names in 50.

so, I think I´ll wait for the update of the things that you are fixing, please include the long names.

So, thank you for your time and for this wonderful tool!

I've fixed this error in the working beta. Will be fixed in the next release.
