I want to be able to write longer titles that the limit which I understand is 80

See? Why can't I write longer titles for my posts? Can I fid the code to allow this? WHy is this an issue. Seems a trivial thing but maybe it is not.

you have to change it inthe post template, in the post source and in the database....

The database limit I believe is 255, may just have to change the form on the template.

Replace in code from Post.template.php below the 80 by whatever you want.

Code Select Expand


// Now show the subject box for this post.
echo '
<dt>
<span', isset($context['post_error']['no_subject']) ? ' class="error"' : '', ' id="caption_subject">', $txt['subject'], ':</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<input type="text" name="subject"', $context['subject'] == '' ? '' : ' value="' . $context['subject'] . '"', ' tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" size="80" maxlength="80" class="input_text" />
</dd>
<dt class="clear_left">
', $txt['message_icon'], ':
</dt>
<dd>
<select name="icon" id="icon" onchange="showimage()">';


think you need to edit it for poll post also etc just look in that file and seach for 80
