here you go
1-backup database
2-open database table tblAuthor in design view
3-select the field Username
4-in the properties below increase the field size to what ever number u want its 30 by default.
5-exit and save
6- upload yer database
same goes for forum details and forum names but i think they are already pretty large forum name field size is 100 and forum details size is 200 (these can be to the max of 255 due to text data type limitation). Any way same steps for those two.
now after uploading your database you want these changes to take effect.
open the register.asp find this
'If this is a new registration display a filed for the username
If strMode = "new" Then
%>
<input type="text" name="name" size="15" maxlength="15" value="<% = strUsername %>" /><%
|
it would be line 1454 under the title Registration Details if you are using an UnModed and Fresh copy of the file.
change it to this
|
'If this is a new registration display a filed for the username
If strMode = "new" Then
%>
<input type="text" name="name" size="15" maxlength="50" value="<% = strUsername %>" /><%
|
now save the changes and upload the file. u can change the max length to max of 255.
now for the forum name and details.
goto admin directory and open forum details.asp. At line 353 edit this code
|
<input type="text" name="forumName" maxlength="60" size="30" value="<% = strForumName %>"> </td>
|
to this
|
<input type="text" name="forumName" maxlength="200" size="30" value="<% = strForumName %>"> </td>
|
then at line 358 change this code
|
<input type="text" name="description" maxlength="190" size="30" value="<% = strForumDescription %>"></td>
|
to this
|
<input type="text" name="description" maxlength="255" size="30" value="<% = strForumDescription %>"></td>
|
save the file and upload it. this should pretty much do it. the fields in red are the length of the string you can type in the input text box. where as the size in blue is the actual width of textbox you can increase it if seems fit to you. let us know if it works.
Note: Before doing anything please backup the files to be edited and database.
Note: These changes are for a fresh copy of those files. If you have moded any of those the line numbers might not be the same but sure will somewhere around those line numbers.
