Hi guys,

I have problem with lenght description in xoops blocks
There are 100K in 1K lines and block cuts to 70K
I tried with substr, mb_substr, mb_strimwidth (Im utf-8 gen_ci) but no luck

Is there a way to fix this?

huum i cannot understand you.
1- do you mean the length of block title?

2- if your answer to the first question is yes, there is 255 english characters limitation for you.

If you need more you need to hack core files.

No mg no title, I mean all description. The lenght of the content is 100000 symbols and after saving the system cuts characters to about 70000

Now i understand your issue.
it is because the content field is "TEXT" and its length is limited to 65,535 bytes ~64kb.

 TINYTEXT     256 bytes       
TEXT     65,535 bytes     ~64kb 
MEDIUMTEXT      16,777,215 bytes     ~16MB 
LONGTEXT     4,294,967,295 bytes     ~4GB

you need to use MEDIUMTEXT or LONGTEXT instead.
Alter table newblocks

eg:

ALTER TABLE PREFIX_newblocks CHANGE content content MEDIUMTEXT;

PREFIX is your xoops database prefix

I tried with longtext in my table, but I was blind for this table "newblock"
Now its ok, long life for you :)
