OJS 3 static pages - restricted character limit in 'title' field

Software Support

I am creating a static page for a journal’s Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement but there is a character limit in the title field when creating static pages. This means I am unable to call the page exactly what it needs to be called.

Can the character limit be increased? Why is there a character limit in this field?

Hi @LuqmanH,

It sounds like you’re asking about OJS. What version are you using? (Please include this information in your posts.)

Sorry, I mentioned it in the title of the post: OJS 3.0.2

Hi @LuqmanH,

You can extend the maximum length of the title field like so (in plugins/generic/staticPages).

Ok, thanks. The database end of our OJS is handled by our IT dept so I’ll pass that on to them.

Cheers

Hi @LuqmanH,

That’s a change to a Smarty template, not the database, FYI.
