Hello all,

In the default cms builder set-up it appears the text field for Upload fields: info1, info2 etc... has a set limit of 255 characters

Can anyone point me to where i can increase this limit?

Also re Upload fields is it possible to change the upload field to be a text box or better still a wysiwyg editor rather than a text field

Best Regards [:)]

Hi alissi,

I was able to store 300 characters in an upload info field. Maybe this is a browser issue? What browser are you using and how exactly are you trying to store more than 255 characters? If I can reproduce your problem, I can probably find you a solution.

As for changing the upload fields, I'm afraid that's not possible. When I need to store more than just a title and a caption along with an upload, I add fields to my section and limit the number of uploads to 1 per record.

What exactly is it you're trying to accomplish? Perhaps we can help you come up with an alternate approach.
All the best,
Chris
