For the past few months, I have been a part of a fast-paced web application team working to deploy an Options News website for PEAK6 Solutions LLC. I’m not allowed to disclosed any information about it until the site goes live. Technically, the site is in beta and anyone can look at it at the moment. So, please feel free to take a peek and give us some feedback on any improvement we can make on the site. http://www.optionsnews.com/optionsnews/HomePage (a new version of this site is also in the works and should be up next week). The site is now live, please have a look and tell your friends about it. The new site is now http://www.onn.tv .
You can also catch me doing a cameo at another PEAK6 Solutions owned website also in beta: http://www.weseed.com.

Are you writing articles that involve non-roman characters in the title and find that it does not fit the max 100 character length? For example, one of my client wanted to write an article in Lao, but it turns out that they needed more than 100 characters for their title. Because of the accent marks and other characters that make up a word, it was difficult to fit in into the title textfield. Well, I have found a workaround, but it is not pretty. Here we go...
Modify your MySQL table
- Use a database management software (I use phpMyAdmin) to get to your EE data. most web hosting services will have this installed already.
- Select the database table that you name for your EE installation. (*_EE)
- Look for *_weblog_titles on the left side panel and click on it. (* just means whatever you set the database table to when you installed EE. Mine was called EE_weblog_titles)
- Edit the "title" field type. I used LONGTEXT with a length of 500. Add more if you need more.
Modify your EE php files
- Go into your file system where your EE was installed. yoursite.com/system/cp/
- Look for and edit the cp.publish.php file.
- Do a search for "publishTitleCluster" within the cp.publish.php file.
- Look for the line 2569 "$DSP->input_text('title', $title, '20', '100', 'input', ..." and change the 100 to the length you desire. In my case 500.
- Save it and you're done.
That's it! If you have any questions, please email me. Thank you for reading.
