fieldExtender fields too short

kocho

Hey guys,

I'd like to make the fields which I've got using fieldExtender a bit longer. They're currently 50 characters long, if I recall correctly.

I thought this was the line which would do the trick, but it didn't seem to work:
array('table' => 'albums', 'name' => 'Info', 'desc' => 'Info', 'type' => 'varchar', 'size' => 50),

Probably a question for sbillard who wrote the plugin.

The plugin creates new fields. If you have already created them you cannot change them that way. You would have to do this via mysql queries directly or delete all fields to create them new.

As you probably know, I no longer am associated with this project so I cannot support you with this version of the software. But suffice it to say, the answer you got is not correct for the implementation in ZenPhoto20 at least.

For anyone wondering, this can be fixed using phpmyadmin.

I went to my database > _albums > found the field I wanted to change and then edited the VARCHAR value to the amount of characters I wanted.

I know this is probably basic for a lot of people, but I thought I'd post this for anyone like me.

Thanks, Tipps are always welcome. I can already promise that custom field handling will be much more convenient in the next major update and fields will be larger by default. Also this plugin will be abandoned. (before anyone asks: Still a bit patience please ;-)).
