See more text in Calendar?

[griffin]

Is there a way to change the amount of text appears in each calender box? Right now after about 16 characters (including spaces).

This is what it looks like:

16 Wed
Chuck Reading! (...)

Admin CP -> Calendars & Moderators -> Calendar Manager -> Edit -> Event Title Cutoff

Thanks very much!

Is there a setting to do the same for how much text is allowed in a forum description?

[Jake Bunce]

You can edit your forum descriptions in your:

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager -> Edit Forum

Or are you talking about the thread titles in the last post column? In that case:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Listings Display Options -> Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters

Thanks for the quick reply


What I'm actually hoping to do is edit how much text will show in the forum descriptions. When I edit the forum description in the Admin CP it allows more text than what ends up showing on the main forums index.

Oh, you need to change the field type of the forum.description field.

Run this query on your database:

ALTER TABLE forum CHANGE description description MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL

If you use table prefixes then you need to change forum to include the prefix. Backup first.

You can run this query in your:

Admin CP -> Import & Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query

Make sure your userid is entered into your includes/config.php file so you have permission to run queries:

// ****** USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ******
// The users specified here will be allowed to run queries from the control panel.
// See the above entries for more information on the format.
// Please note that the ability to run queries is quite powerful. You may wish
// to remove all user IDs from this list for security reasons.
$canrunqueries = '';

ah, great! I'm pretty sure I don't have the permissions to do this but I'll get the information to the right person.

Thanks again
