TOPIC: [SOLVED] Increasing the Characters for the Value line....

Hello, I am trying to list about 50 or so school as a custom field. It lets me put about 10 names in for my dropdown box in the Value area. Is there a way to increase the number of people/schools that appear in my drop down box. Here is what I am doing...custom field is School Name https://www.choikwangdo.com/index.php?o ... k=mainlist tried looking, but cant find anything that would let me increase the number of characters that are allowed to be place into the add

We have modified a couple admin files to increase the limit of the values input textbox to 1000 instead of 250. Download this ZIP file and upload the two modified files inside it: http://www.dthdevelopment.com/images/downloads/admin.dtregister.html.zip Also, you will need to make a database change using your phpMyAdmin or whatever you have. 1) If you have an existing custom field for this, go to the table jos_dtregister_user and find the field for your custom field. Look for the name you gave it. The type will probably be "varchar(100)". Change it to "varchar(1000)"... without the quotes. 2) Also, go to jos_dtregister_fields and change the type for the field "values" from "varchar(255)" to "varchar(1000)". Hope this helps. New custom fields should be created at varchar(1000) after uploading the modified files. We'll incorporate this into the next release. Thanks.
