[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 1742590] Re: Text/Note/Annotation Maxlength rule is unnecessary
It was decided to increase the maxLength attribute on the text fields to 1000,000 chars. The error message string: "rule.maxlength.maxlength" in pieforms.php was updated to read: "This field must be at most %d characters long. Please revise it or try splitting this over multiple instances." and '1' was added to the string so it gets picked up as revised for language translation.

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 1742590] Re: Text/Note/Annotation Maxlength rule is unnecessary
To Do: 1. Check what the upper limits are with the newer versions of Postgres and MySQL. 2. Upt the limit on the text boxes that were mentioned minus a few characters to deal with saving the block data in serialized format. 3. Change the message when the limit has been reached to something along the lines of comment #3. ** Changed in: mahara Milestone: 18.10.0 => 19.04.0 ** Tags added: snack-sized -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 1742590] Re: Text/Note/Annotation Maxlength rule is unnecessary
We should keep some upper limit so that people don't post text endlessly and break the site.
