Description

There's no official limit on an extension's name length. Looking at the "ter" extension table structure, the limit seems to be 50 character. However the new list view of the TER cuts the title at 30 characters. Could we please have the full length back, as some extensions' titles now look really silly (like "Standard Controller - Tesserac" instead of "Standard Controller - Tesseract project" for extension "displaycontroller").

Need someone who put this patch in extension "ter".
Problem was that the TCA field for the extension title has maximum 30 chars.
I set it now to 70 chars.

The database field is varchar(50) and has been like that since the beginning. So I would change the tca also to 50 chars.

Yes, for sure. Here is the updated patch.

Thanks, Helmut.

I fixed it on the server directly now, but this needs to be committed so that it is not lost after the next deploy

Christian can you take care of that? Thanks.

What about the wrong extension titles which are in the DB now?
We need to change the title in the tables "tx_ter_extensions" and in the version repository.
By script? By hand? Someone a better solution?

It is working on typo3.org.
All updated extension titles are not cut off.

So, what to do with the cut off titles in database?

Hi,

do you see a way to update them via a script?

#10
Updated by Thomas Loeffler 12 months ago

It's possible, but not if there was a title change on the last upload.
I can look on the older version (if there is one) and update the title of the newest version.

The problem is back again. :(

Is the TCA entry back to 30 chars?

Updated by Steffen Gebert 11 months ago

Yes, it is 

                'title' => array (
                        'label' => 'LLL:EXT:ter/locallang_tca.xml:tx_ter_extensions.title',
                        'config' => array (
                                'type' => 'input',
                                'size' => '40',
                                'max'  => '30',
                                'eval' => 'trim',
                        ),
                ),

Tolleiv, is the trunk branch of EXT:ter in use?

http://forge.typo3.org/projects/extension-ter/repository/changes/trunk/tca.php

Wondering, where the change comes from.

Updated by Steffen Gebert 11 months ago

Problem was that Christian's change didn't modify the title, but the version. Thomas will push a new version, I have fixed it on the live server already and we will update the DB contents later.
