Hello,

 I'am using the documents module but since DNN just have some fixed categories (Title, proprietary, description, date modified, size, category, etc) I'm using 3 of them, title, description and category.

The problem is that I want to put more information in the field category  that in the code just acceptrs 50 characters. I changed the EditDocs.asx and also the database table to increase this field to 250 characters.

When editing this field, now is possible to put more information, but when I click so save, the information is not being transfered to the database. I didnt find the part of the code that managed this, can someone help me?

You would also have to increase the length of the @Category parameter in the two database stored procedures AddDocument and UpdateDocument. It is currently set as nvarchar(50).

Keep in mind, however, that if you have enabled use of Category List in the module's settings, the definition of the Category text and value is defined in the Host --> Lists table which has a limit of 100 and 150 characters respectively.

Inside the files 03.01.01.SqlDataProvider and 03.01.00.SqlDataProvider I already changed this part of the code below. They're inside DesktopModules\Documents\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider

CREATE PROCEDURE {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}UpdateDocument

@ItemId INT,
@Title nvarchar(150),
@URL nvarchar(250),
@UserId INT,
@Category nvarchar(250),
@OwnedByUserID INT,
@SortOrderIndex INT,
@Description nvarchar(255)

Hello Bill,

Now I undertood what you're talking about, I was thinking in changing inside the code not in the database.
I changed and it worked.

Thanks a lot,
