Forum Title ?!

[Forum Lover]

How can I increase forum titles length? I am using unicode to translate my forums title and found that default word/letter counts are not enough for me.

Any tips guys? Thanks in advance.

Just change he length of the column in the database.

Thanks Marco, newbie is here.



I was asking, please check the last sub forum... when you choose a bit bigger name, its not coming all.. at the end its showing "&" sign.

But when I choose smaller title, its ok. I think there is a limitation on how many letters that we can put as forum title.. right?!

If I need to get it done by changing anything from database, can you be please a bit more elaborated.

Thanks again. I think if I can change the limits, that will do.. but how?

You would need to change the 'title' and 'title_clean' columns in the 'forum' table using a tool like phpMyAdmin.

You can also run the following manual query (make a backup of your database before performing manual changes):

[sql]ALTER TABLE `forum`
CHANGE COLUMN title title VARCHAR(255)NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
,CHANGE COLUMN title_clean title_clean VARCHAR(255)NOT NULL DEFAULT '';[/sql]

Marco, it was varchar(100) and I changed to varchar(200).. in both title and title_clean, but still no luck.

EDIT:

The SQL Query you gave, its working fine its changing the varchar.. but still no luck in titles when I renaming those in unicode.

You will need to set the title again for the forums that had problems with the length of the title.

Yeah Marco, I did that already. But still no luck.

Then you will need to do the same for the title and title_clean columns in the mh_fl_forum_language table.

if vBulletin would have or if "pharses would work -- all would be well.

tried it - using a phrase in the forum title in the admin cp and dont' work.
Is there a way this could be done and work ?

I just wonder Marco.
