Hello,

A bit of a bizarre one but when ever I try and input html into a Category it cuts off all code after line 1600. The bottom half of some of my categories are missing. I have tried changing the editor to none but to no avail. Not a problem with Joomla Articles but with Hikashop categories.

Thoughts??

Yours
Iain

Hi,

The description of categories is limited to 65,535 characters as the field where that is stored in the database is a MySQL text which thus is limited to 65,535 characters.

Joomla articles are of the type "mediumtext" and thus are limited to 16,777,215 characters.
You can go in the table hikashop_category and change the type of that column to mediumtext via phpmyadmin in order to have the same limit as joomla articles.

Thank you very much, are there any implications with making a change like this? If not, how come it isn't standard?

Hi,

No there is no implications, it's not standard to improve the performance.
