Description and Message
Hi guys, is there a way to change this value above 999? In the admin panel it only allow a 3digit integer and if I wanted to change it say to 1500 I can't. Thanks in advance.

If you want to allow 1500, why don't you just disable that feature?

[Genopath]

Because I have really big articles around 3000ish.

Try this:
Open includes/acp/acp_portal.php
Find:

Code: Select all

'portal_news_length'				=> array('lang' => 'PORTAL_NEWS_LENGTH',	'validate' => 'int',		'type' => 'text:3:3',		 'explain' => true),

Replace with:

Code: Select all

'portal_news_length'				=> array('lang' => 'PORTAL_NEWS_LENGTH',	'validate' => 'int',		'type' => 'text:10:200',		 'explain' => true),

[Genopath]

Thanks!

What does the 10 and 200 mean though?

[Marc]

It defines the text length, but I really have no idea what it exactly means.
