How do I increase character limit?

[fabianv]

Hi all,

How would I go about increasing the 200 character limit of the announcement box?


Contents of the Announcement box?
This block can contain HTML code (200 character limit)

Thanks in advance.

also how can we increase the no. of characters on showgallery pages for displayed photos ?

The announcement box is a varchar field which has a max length so you can not change that unless say maybe you modify your database table field to maybe a text field
