Announcement Box?

[CGMathis]

Where do I increase the character limit on the "Announcement Box"?

TIA

The character limit is set by the mysql field in the database so there is no way to change it without alter the database field.

Maybe you can do this

ALTER TABLE pp_settings CHANGE setting setting TEXT

I don't find a variable called "text". I only see three variables that are set to 200 and they all have to do with images

You would run that query in phpmyadmin to change the field I noted.

[CGMathis]

Okay, after running that, will it offer me a field to enter the new variable? I assumed the query would have the new number in it?

[Chuck S]

Nope all it is doing is changing that field from VARCHAR TO TEXT. A text field does not have a limit

There are a lot of things in the pp_settings table. By running "ALTER TABLE pp_settings CHANGE setting setting TEXT", it knows which field to change?

[Chuck S]

Yes It Does

[CGMathis]

After changing "pp_settings" to "rp_settings", it worked perfectly!

Thanks!

Worked for me too, thanks!
