Request: extended user info
« on: April 11, 2003, 10:47:16 AM »
Do anyone have a mod that can do the personal profile more advanced.

IŽd like to have so the users can write some information about themself. Like a personal presentation.


Sorry for my bad english

Your first three "must do" before you ask a question:
Please do not PM me asking for help unless you've been specifically asked to do so. Such PMs will be deleted without answer. (forum rule #6)

i added some additional fields and one of them is a user selfdescription.
everything works just fine, but on that user description field i've put as "varchar255" in the database table and so the text can't be longer then 255 letters.

my question is, how can i make this additional field having no limits in the text? So users can write as long as they want.


thanks

You can't.  

Every database data type has a maximum limit you can write to a single record.  Unless you're prepared to write custom php and hack the 4images code, you'll have to work within those limits.
