Title: Page Limit
Post by: Xadro on September 20, 2009, 08:26:32 AM

So as the subject already said, there seems to be a limit on how many characters you can add to a custom page.

Its quite annoying because it cut off somewhere in the middle of a HTML page i had made, making the page look horrible.

Is there anyway i can fix this annoying problem?

Im using Simpleportal 2.3 with SMF 2.0 RC1

Yes, you can. It seems that SP uses the TEXT type for the body of pages, which restricts you to about 65,000 characters. You can change this, however.

You can use phpMyAdmin, go to your database and open the {prefix}sp_pages table. It should look something like this:

Now, click on the edit (the pencil) button next to the body value, which should take you to a page like this:

Now you can change the type from TEXT to MEDIUMTEXT (which can store about 16 million characters) or LONGTEXT (which can store over 4 billion characters).

Save and enjoy!
