View Full Version : 3.0 PLD_LINK.DESCRIPTION data type?

I've installed 2.0 and played with it - imported the links from my current directory (running a different script) and saw a problem.

The Description field for the links is a VARCHAR(255) and it cuts off my existing descriptions.

The other script I'm using (a heavily hacked version of linkwa - don't waste your time :mad: ) uses type TEXT for the Description field. Although this uses much more storage space - disk space is cheap! ;)

So I'm going to change the datatype on the 2.0 installation to TEXT so I don't lose my keyword rich descriptions - but I'm going to upgrade to 3.0 soon and was curious if it's still a VARCHAR (255)??

thanks!

Starting with phpLD 3.0.5 it's LONGTEXT.

I couldn't make it simple TEXT because the Adodb library does not want to update VARCHAR to TEXT, only to LONGTEXT.
But that's no problem :)
