The 50,000 Symbols Barrier in Blogs. | Forum

I tried it, after removing 50000.

No error messages, but still there is a length barrier. I posted a huge text. Only part of it was saved. So it's better to use the highest number possible in place of 50000. What should be that?

Btw, what does the BLOB series mean?

Thank you for answering Purusothaman.

$stringValidator = new StringValidator(0); was working well.
Now there is a problem. Even Texts with less than 10,000 symbols are truncated.
Example: http://findonliners.com/community/blogs/post/74

$stringValidator = new StringValidator(0)

This has been working well all these days, but now there is problem.

Blogs don't accept even texts that are less than 10,000 symbols in length.

I had not made any code change in any files after I had modified it following our previous discussions many weeks ago.

That should not happen. May be there is something happening apart from this.

Tester Feb 6 '13

That's what I suspect, Purusothaman Ramanujam, but can't figure out it.

Tester, can you try pasting the text of more then 10.000 symbols but in English language?

#27

Tester Feb 10 '13

Aliia, I think it was a temporary problem due to some quirky reason.
The member who complained about it was able post his stuff fully today.
Thanks.

Btw, why 'symbols' instead of 'characters'? Is there any difference?

#29

Alia Feb 12 '13

Tester, sorry would have been correct to say "characters". I personally don't see the difference. But all documentation related to utf-8 encoding uses "characters".

Tester Feb 12 '13

I have given a note about the size limit on my site. Now I can change 'symbols' to 'characters'. Thanks, Allia.

50,000. Is this with or without white spaces?

#32

It is with spaces.

Quote from Purusothaman Ramanujam Yes, If you removed that limit, this will never be executed.

and I changed $stringValidator = new StringValidator(0);
still get the alert at forum "This text can't be longer than 50000 symbols"

Quote from Aliia Tester, this can be changed in 'ow_blog_post' table in MySQL.
Currently "post" column is of "TEXT" data type, which is limited to 65,535 bytes ~64kb.

Change data type, for example to LONG TEXT, to increase max. size limit for blog posts.

This screen-shot shows the only SQL related items I have:

is there something I'm missing?

Krunch, you should go to phpMyAdmin section.

Quote from Daisy Krunch, you should go to phpMyAdmin section.

OK, changed for both Blog and Forum to Long Text,..

Still with the Ouch, that's a long text! Try to be a little more compact, under 50000 symbols.

This was at a 411526 Character Count

Have you changed the limit in the following string?

$stringValidator->setErrorMessage(OW::getLanguage()->text( 'base', 'text_is_too_long', array( 'max_symbols_count' =>50000 ) ));
