Helle Andersen	Friday 21 October 2005 2:57:57 am eZ appearently does not accept very long links (which I need to use since they relate to our libarry system). Is there a way to change the length og charecters allowed for links ? Helle
Marko Žmak	Saturday 22 October 2005 4:13:51 pm Maybe if you give a little bit more details about your problem, someone could help you. Where exactly do you have problems with long links? With the ezurl() operator or somewhere else? -- Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it! Hubert Farnsworth
Helle Andersen	Sunday 23 October 2005 11:49:31 pm The problem occurs when you in a xml field (with or without the editor enabled) tries to make a very long link - the end characters are simply erased. In fact the same occurs if you in other datatypes tries to insert long texts, e.g. in an enum datatype in a class.
Bruce Morrison	Monday 24 October 2005 12:25:25 am Hi Helle I'm guessing the URLs are longer than 255 characters? The (mysql) database field where these are stored (ezurl.url) is a varchar(255), so there is a 255 char limit on URLs. I suspect you may be able to convert this to a text field to allow for a larger URLs.
