Links 2 sets "Description" by number of characters not "words".
To set the max # chars you need to edit, in your favorite text editor, the category.def (
defination) and links.def file.
Sarting at line 19 you'll see the following in category.def:
Code:
# Database Definition: CATEGORIES
# --------------------------------------------------------
# Definition of your database file.
%db_def = (
ID => [0, 'numer', 5, 8, 1, '', ''],
Name => [1, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', '^[\w\d/_-]+$'],
Description => [2, 'alpha', '40x3', 500, 0, '', ''],
Related => [3, 'alpha', 0, 255, 0, '', ''],
'Meta Description' => [4, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', ''],
'Meta Keywords' => [5, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', ''],
Header => [6, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', ''],
Footer => [7, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', '']
);
Although links.def has a few more lines of code for other requirements the line you are intrested in is the "Description" line. 40x3 is the size of the description window, 40 chars. wide by 3 rows high. This is the Description box shown when Adding or Modifing a category or link. The next number "500" is the max number of characters allowed in the box. Make the changes as appropriate, save the file(s) and upload.
