Another "Extend Custom Title Limit" Thread

Didn't want to bump a topic... Not sure if we could.

Was looking at this thread: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/limit-usertitle-characters.27515/ And was confused on how to change it. Do I have to edit the database?

Cause when I tried it like the last post, I got this error:

Mysqli statement execute error : Data too long for column 'custom_title' at row 1
Zend_Db_Statement_Mysqli->_execute() in Zend/Db/Statement.php at line 297

I extended it from the limit of 50 to 200 and even 150 and it did it. My members want longer user titles. Help? :3
 
the problem is, you can't change only the php files( btw, you should use the plugin sys instead of overwriting original files!;) )
you also need to change the database structure

(e.g. with phpmyadmin you need to change the length of the custom_title field in the xf_user table)
 
I see. I gotta wait for my host to do it then. Cause his laptop got fried... And he can't afford getting cpanel. Still a nice friend of mine. XD

Thankies dude. :3
