Hello guys,

I am facing the following issue:

I have added new text in Terms of Use but cannot be fitted, a lot of text is missing since I saved it.

Please advise what to do in order to solve my issue.

Thank you and regards

Jörgen

Do You have enough rights ?
Do You use any special editor that strips the text ?

Note that because text cannot be fitted to the width I have created a table of 3 columns and I have added text in the middle column. In that way the text at the end of the text is dissappering after save

Hello Jorgen,

I think so TinyMCE :)

I have permissions because the text is saved but not all the text I am adding

With that link we can see your workaround, but not the original problem. (I suppose it's a problem with your T3 template).

Thank you for your replies.

The question is: is there a limitation on how much characters can be fitted in the Terms and Services?  or it is a problem on my website? Normaly had you tested to add a long text in the Terms and it worked?

Jörgen

I have not tested this, I use include_content_item to include a Joomla article into the TOS field. This way I can have the same text available on the website through a menu item for the customer to view.

Include a numbered amount of characters and see when they are not stored any more.  Then You will discover if there is a limit.

In the database the data object vendor_terms_of_service is set to TEXT = 65,535 characters - 64 KB

Thank you Jorgen and jjk.

I will test both and let you know.

Jörgen thanks for the tip about using  include_content_item.  I have always used the "Articles Anywhere" plugin from Regular Labs, but include_content_item seems to offer additional functionality.

Hello Jenkins

I have contributed to the code a couple of times. The last contribution, multi language, has only been implemented in my personal code. If You are interested I would gladly send You a copy.

Thanks, Jörgen, but I don't need multi-language. We make it a policy to only work on sites in English, not out of any prejudice, but because we now only have clients from UK and USA.
