Hello,
I created a field "text zone" :
- Lenght: 5000 characters
- Default: no
- Storage: Type "Varchar2048"
In the "dynamic value" panel, I wish to enter a string of more than 300 characters.
=> Impossible: my string is broken to 255 characters !!!
When I enter the string in the administration form (in a item), it may well save.
But when I return in the Content Type> Panel 2: Dynamic value: it displayed only the first 255 characters.
How to enter a dynamic value with more than 255 characters?
Best regards,

Bonjour,
J'ai crée un champ "zone de texte" :
- taille : 5000 caractères
- valeur par défaut : aucune
- storage : type "Varchar2048"
Dans le panneau "valeur dynamique", je souhaite entrer une chaine de caractères de plus de 300 caractères.
=> Impossible : ma chaine est coupée à 255 caractères !!!
Quand j'entre la chaine de caractères dans le formulaire administration, elle peut bien s'enregistrer.
Mais quand je la rentre dans Type de contenu > panneau 2 : Valeur dynamique : elle est coupée à 255 caractères.
Comment entrer une valeur dynamique de plus de 255 caractères ?
En vous remerciant par avance,
Osep45
Any ideas ?
Hi
How many characters can be stored in the 'live' db column?
It's not actually 'live', can't remember right now proper location....
Live value is basically the same thing as default value, it is stored in live_value column of cck_core_type_field and is varchar(255) - this is where your limitation comes from. You can use default value, which has this limitation set to 2048.
No, the default value of the field has the same limitation : 255 characters... not more...
Another solution ?
Hi
Not sure how to put this in words...
... but can't you have a fieldA with valueA, fieldB with valueB etc...
Then, if live value is 1 then show fieldA, if live value is 2, show fieldB
I am not sure what it is you need exactly, but isn't that a more usual way to go?
