Title: Length of article description limited. How can I remove limitation?
Post by: fmlk4u on January 04, 2013, 10:25:14 AM
To demonstrate the issue I have I like to invite you to go to an example where I found the problem.

Go to http://new.keyboard-centrum.nl/nl/winkel/digitale-piano and click on CVP-609GP to open detail  page of the product.

In the description I use a tabbed dialog to have description, specification, accessoires, etc. But yesterday I found out that during creating the tab "Kenmerken" I could not copy all data. In the bottom I notices a limitation of approx. 1800 - 1900 words. Is this somewhere in the configuration or can I remove the limitation? On Yamaha's site you can see the Kenmerken and see what I miss:

Thanks a lot for your feedback and help

Regards, Fred

write in your virtuemart.cfg
dblayoutstrict=0
and then execute "load config by file" (be aware that your default values are deleted then). Then go in your config and store it one time. The language tables use then text instead of varchar(2000) respectivly var(18400)

I hope I can manage this since your answer is bit wizkid cryptic.

Kind regards, Fred

1. How do I execute "load config by file"?
2. Which default values are deleted? What is the impact?

Thanks for help, Fred

read in the wiki tools http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/Tools

in the BE search the virtuemart.cfg, this settings are used, if there is no config stored. But,.. hmm due the but with unserialize, I am not sure atm if this setting stays.
