Affter a field is created for example SELECT and I enter a description, only a partial description is shown when a user goes to register.

If some one could direct me to the file where the number of characters can be increased I think this would solve the problem.

www.creditinvestorusa.com then click on registration to see what I am talking about.

Thanks.

Hello millennium,


the limit is not in some files but into database,
if you could change table '*_extending_field_list' the field 'description' type from 'varchar' to 'text'
usually could be done with any mysql manager like PhpMyAdmin and others.
Note: this make the description unlimited.

Thank you.

where would I find table '*_extending_field_list' the field 'description'?

I am fairly new to joomla so I would even pay to have this done or a road map on where to find it.

I observed your web site and want to warn you about one thing.

You used Community Builder and Juser together. And used the registration form of both components. This may cause confession by the visitors. I suggest you use only one of them for registration. You may then use the other one for the other purpouses.

About the database issue. You can acces you database by means of your hosting control panel. There is a program like joomla called, "PhpMyAdmin". You can manage your database and database tables through this web program. Open the PhpMyAdmin and go directly to the database you created for joomla on the left menu. If you clik on the database name, the tables will be located under this. There are so many tables. You should look for the table "_extending_field_list" phrase. Click on the table and you will see fields located under this table on the right side of the page. Find the field named as "description". There will be a pencil icon on the right side of this field. Click on this icon and a new page opens up. There is a dropdownbox with a title of "Type" on this page and its default value is "VARCHAR". You should change its value to "TEXT" and click on the Save button located at the footer oh this page. Then you are done.

I hope it helps.
