I try to make the block names and module names longer and have no idea how to do this.

At the moment I think for blocks and modules max characters is 150, how can I increase this number and where? In stead of for example "main menu" I like to type a 300 letter description for that block.. at the moment this is impossible..

Please someone help me (if you wonder why I want that much characters ... its for multi lingual tags)

As you said I think this is not possible right now. The only way I can think of would be to add the block directly in your theme.html then you'd have like virtually no max length.

Not a real solution though, I know...

To accomplish this you would need to:

1. Alter the _newblocks table, increasing the size of the 'title' column. I believe VARCHAR DB fields are limited to 255 characters.

2. Modify /kernel/block.php
change this line:

$this->initVar('title', XOBJ_DTYPE_TXTBOX, null, false, 150);

Replace the '150' with the new size of your field.

Then you would have to do the same thing with the _modules, this time with the 'name' field

The file to modify for modules is /kernel/module.php

$this->initVar('name', XOBJ_DTYPE_TXTBOX, null, false, 150);

I am trying to copy HTML content into a block...but it cuts off the HTML code about 3/4 of the way. How can I increase the amount of HTML code I can put into a block?




Currently - I'm copying/pasting the HTML content into a MyPage.php file...but it looks much better when I use the block feature....

Unless someone out there has created a module that will let me import/link Excel spreadsheets (rather large ones) into a module. I'll need the ability to update the spreadsheets atleast 2x per week.
