Bidfind Description Field Has Changed Edit Delete Reply with quote Quote
First Post Posted on: 12-29-08 10:11 PM next post first post
Bidfind has changed their description field to allow 1200 characters instead of the previous 250.\ \ When editing these lines to change 250 to 1200 the process "freezes" halfway through making the output. Can you tell us how to properly edit these variables to allow 1200 characters in the description?\ \ if (length($Description) > 1200) {\ $Description = substr($Description, 0, 500);\ $Description =~ s/[\s\,\;\'\"\:]+$//;\ }\ \ Thank you!

It should be only:


Code: HTML    Select All    Expand All
</p><p>   if (length($Description) &gt; 1200) {<br />     $Description = substr($Description, 0, 1200);<br />     $Description =~ s/[\s\,\;\'\&quot;\:]+$//;<br />   }<br />

this in the file BidFind.pm

I will try again and see what happens.\ \ When I change the second value to 1200, it hangs up and doesn't finish, seems to run okay at 500. Could be that there is something in one of my listings that is upsetting it. I'll just explore it and /g it out if I find out what it is.\ \ Thanks Ahmed.

try to comment the line:

$Description =~ s/[\s\,\;\'\"\:]+$//;

as:

#$Description =~ s/[\s\,\;\'\"\:]+$//;

There maybe [ and ] letters in your desc. causing this.
