Increase "question" field

Gianna — GMT

Hi all, I got Advanced Poll running this evening. Great product!

I noticed that the "question" field is truncating my questions. Is it possible to increase the maximum number of characters allowed? I have an intermediate level of php ability... if you could just give me the names of the files that I'd have to change, that'd be good enough.

I'm hoping it's simply a matter of changing the tag

Thanks,

FIRST: if you have mySQL access, you can log into something like phpmyadmin, increase the field width to 255 from 100, and then change the actual question there.

Then you can go into the admin/templates/admin_edit.html and admin/templates/admin_new.html files and change the maxlengths on the question fields to 255.

Or you could just chage it's type in MySQL from varchar to text which is unlimited size.
