where in the database is this info?  and how do you change it?
 
In your forum directory, there's a file named "admin_add_member.asp" in that file you will be able to find the following line "strSignature = Mid(Request.Form("signature"), 1, 200)"... change the 200 to 255 and you will be able to include 255 characters in your signature. That string is located in line number 108 (if you are using the free version of webwiz forums 8.05a) and also you need to change the value of the same string in tow more files, "register.asp" and "signature_preview.asp". Line number might be different for you, but you can always search your source code for that string.

Same here. We need to put image links with very long URL addresses and files names, and 200 chars is not enough.
 
Please help...

Without going into the code at this time, what I recall off the top of my head is...
255 sounds like it's a small text field type in the db. You'd probably need to change the field type to a larger type of text field. The exact field type for a larger text field would depend upon the db being used.

I don't recall if the sig field was run through the function to replace characters that might be used in an sql injection attack. but I imagine it would be. If so, one displayed character might be represented by a 4 character entity which means the b field must be larger than the max displayed characters.

The sig file is probably validated in javascript client side as well as in server side script. You might have to change both.

I have found the signature_preview file that has some things that may be related... just wanna check.
 
'Read in the message to be previewed from the cookie set
strSignature = Mid(Request.Form("signature"), 1, 200) - Do I change this to reflect the max sig count?
 
'Take the signature down to 255 characters max to prevent database errors
strSignature = Mid(strSignature, 1, 255) - Maybe I should not change it?????

Is there a way to change the max characters allowed in the users signature. I see that 200 is the current limit... but how would I change it if I wanted to up it?]]> Mon, 25 Dec 2006 03:59:36 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/signature-max-character_topic22267_post118686.html#118686
