[solved] Add Link - Site Name Length too short

[Kat]

I asked this on the old board.

When I go to add links through my website Link page, or the ACP I can't enter more then 20 characters for the site name.

I was told to change this:

in links_body.tpl
[code]<tr>               <td><br><span>{L_LINK_TITLE}</span><br><input type="text" name="link_title" value="" size="15" maxlength="20" class="post" style="width]

inline find 20 and replace with 100, I did try this and nothing happened, its still 20 characters long.

Any help would be great, as most website names are longer then 20 characters.

Thanks,
Kat

I think you will find that all references to sthe site name length are as follows
templatesfisubicelinks_body.tpl

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

<td><br><span>{L_LINK_TITLE}</span><br><input type="text" name="link_title" value="" size="15" maxlength="20" class="post" style="width]
templatesfisubicelinks_index.tpl
[code]<td><br><span>{L_LINK_TITLE}</span><br><input type="text" name="link_title" value="" size="15" maxlength="20" class="post" style="width]
templatesfisubicelinks_popnew.tpl[code]<td><br><span>{L_LINK_TITLE}</span><br><input type="text" name="link_title" value="" size="15" maxlength="20" class="post" style="width]
templatesfisubicelinks_search.tpl[code]<td><br><span>{L_LINK_TITLE}</span><br><input type="text" name="link_title" value="" size="15" maxlength="20" class="post" style="width]
and templatesfisubiceadminadmin_links_edit_body.tpl[code]<td><input></td>

hum...is there another file to edit somewhere? because that didn't work either

[Dragonsys]

maybe the DB is setup to only except 20 chars?

[Master Dwarf]

This is a good topic. I too tried to edit a file to lengthen the field, but I'd hate to go the extra step if it has to do with the dbase.

[Dragonsys]

hum...is there another file to edit somewhere? because that didn't work either

after editing all those files, will it just not allow you to enter more then 20 characters, or do you enter them, but after the link is Submitted/Saved, the extra characters drop off, or you get an error about the length?

I looked at my DB is it is set to varchar(100) which means I could have to 100 characters in the Link name...

[Kat]

No, I can't even enter more then 20 characters

[Dragonsys]

ok, so it's still a limit in the form....
Let me do some looking real quick

are you trying to add the links in the ACP or on the main site?
also, are you using fisubice, or another template?

[Kat]

ok, so it's still a limit in the form....
Let me do some looking real quick

are you trying to add the links in the ACP or on the main site?

Both, actually, lemme check real quick in the ACP, because I only checked it on the main site after I did the edits...

Okay, I can't do more then 20 characters for site name when entering the name on either the ACP or the main site

EDIT: I'm using SmartDark which a friend made into an Integra style last summer for me

[Dragonsys]

Did you edit the files in SmartDark or in fisubice?
sorry, i had to ask...

[Kat]

only in smartdark, I don't use fisubice at all

[Dragonsys]

hmmm.. when I make the above edits in my template it works for me.
You can you post the code from your files here, and let me look at them?

Thanks for checking this out for me, if its something that simple, I must be blind lol

[Dragonsys]

ok, it all looks good.
Try deleting your template cache
ACP -> eXtreme Styles -> Styles Management -> [manage cache]

And your IM Cache
ACP -> IM Portal -> Delete Cache Files

See if that helps any

[Kat]

woah, deleted 288 files when I did the cache thing in styles....should I be deleting this more often?

Worked like a charm. Thanks so much, I feel really lame that was all I needed to do lol

[Adrian Rea]

Of course the cache! DUH! yes deleting them is fine, but you should recompile after to help with speed.

[Kat]

What is the difference between deleting and a recompile of them?

DOH! I shoulda thought of that a while ago
You should only have to delete the cache if you have made changes to your templates...

What is the difference between deleting and a recompile of them?

Delete them removes the caceh files
Recompile, recreates the cache files, right then, instead of when someone views the file for the first time. It helps with page load times.

[Kat]

ohhh, okay!

Thanks guys! Glad this is fixed.
