I have a problem here that even after hours of searching with my friend Google, I'm still getting no results...
My Terms & Conditions are larger then the max character set of the Magento section for it.
Then I would like to know if one of you could please help me to locate the file and the line to edit to make the max character set biger and letting me put all my Terms & Condition without problem.
Thank you very much in advance for your time.
sincerely,
Nicolas
The T&C content is stored in the checkout_agreement table in a field named content
This field is assigned the datatype text and has a maximum length of around 64kB with actual content depending on how many bytes your UTF-8 encoded text uses.
You would need to change the datatype to longtext which has a maximum length of 16MB.
Testing this will be necessary to make sure no validation limits have been imposed on the entry template.
You can modify the table structure of table checkout_agreement by changing the data type of content field from TEXT to LONGTEXT to allow for more characters.

My table field is Longtext, however when I try to save a text of length equal to 3 page of a text book. It saves in the db but not complete. It truncates the text. What is wrong, do Laravel set default max length of a payload?
Is it a problem regarding my database?
Any kind of help is appreciated.
Table Schema
I am creating a confirmation letter using Bi Publisher with Word Add In.
I need a field to convert a varchar to number then multiply this by 75% and of course if the field is zero to equal zero.
For example my room_rate is the field and currently is 3,000.00 and I need to show the net amount which is always 75% because 25% is taxes so I need it to display 2250.
I have tried writing the below but it results in a '0'
I apologise for my lack of skills as I am just beginning.
Thanks in advance!!
If you have these XML fields per row:
<room_rate>3,000.00</room_rate>
<net_percent>75</net_percent>
You would want to use this for the field you want to calculate:
<?xdofx:to_number(room_rate) * (net_percent div 100)?>
You really should be sending the value as a number in the XML, and storing it in the database as a number for that matter.
I am trying to create an appropriate Format table property of a specific MS Access table in order to achieve the display style described below. For example purposes, let the table name be example and the field that I am trying to format be dollars
When example!dollars.Value is 567.98, I wish to display $0.567K. I also wish to display 1,000.42 as $1.000K.
In another table storing larger values, I use the Format property string $#,##0,\K; ($#,##0,"K)"[Red];"| < $1K |"; --, which successfully displays the amount in K dollars; however, any values less than $1K cannot be displayed. This is not acceptable due to the scale of the values in the example table.
The most intuitive solution is to use the string $0,000\K and specify the thousands separator as . instead of ,. However, I do not know how to do this.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
This works for me:
Kamount = Format(Amount/1000, "$0.000K")
So divide by 1000, then format as needed.
Use the Format property string $0\.000\K
in DB which i do not have privilege to alter.
a column has number(13,4) and how is it possible to insert 999999999999999999 whose length is more than 13 ? It is throwing exception. Is it possible to convert in to 1.23e3 format and does the db save this format?
no it is not possible because of the rules and limitations you mentioned yourself. The column has that formatting, you cannot change it so you cannot make it fit. period
No it is not possible to insert a number, which is greater than the specified precision and scale of the column.
You have to change the database.
If you don't have permissions to alter the table then simply ask someone who does; you have a valid "business" need to do so.
I would highly recommend not working out some way to "hack" around this limitation. Constraints such as this exist to enforce data quality. Though maybe misapplied in this situation, putting data in two different formats in the same column makes it immeasurably more difficult to retrieve data from the database. Hence why you should always store numbers as numbers etc.
No, unfortunately not. There is no way how to achieve this.
I have one field when importing that can contain large data, it seems that CSV has unofficial limitation of about 65000 (likely 65535*) character. as both libreoffice calc and magento truncating the data for that particular field. I have investigated well and I'm certain it is not because of a special character or quotes. the data pretty straight forward, the lines are similar in format to each other.
Question: How to increase that size? or at least where I should look to find it?
Note: I counted in libreoffice writer and it was about 65040. but probably with carriage return characters it could reach 65535
I change:
1) in table catalog_category_entity_text
type of field "value" from "text" to "longtext"
2) in file app/code/core/Mage/ImportExport/Model/Import/Entity/Abstract.php
const DB_MAX_TEXT_LENGTH = 65536;
to
const DB_MAX_TEXT_LENGTH = 16777215;
and all OK
You are right, there is a limitation in Magento, because it sets texts fields as TEXT in MySQL database and, according to MySQL docs, this kind of field supports a maximum of 65535 chars.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/es/storage-requirements.html
So you could change the column type in your Magento database to use MEDIUMTEXT. I guess the correct place is in the catalog_product_entity_text table, where you should modify the 'value' field type to match your needs. But please, keep in mind this is dangerous. Make a full backup before trying. And you may even need to play with core files... not recommended!
I'm having the same issue with 8 products from a list of more than 400, and I think I'm not going to mess with Magento core and database, we can reduce the description strings for those few products.
The CSV could care less. Due to Microsoft Access allowing Memo fields which can contain quite a bit of data, I've exported 2-3k descriptions in CSV format to be imported into Magento quite successfully.
Your limitation is either because you are using a spreadsheet that has a cell limitation or export limitation on cells or because the field you are trying to import into has a maximum character limitation set in its table for that field.
You can determine the latter by using phpMyAdmin to see what the maximum character setting is for that field.
