Title character limit?

An editor would like a page title that is 65 characters (which, yes, we can all agree is very long!), but there is apparently a limit of “short title” to 64 characters. At least an error dialogue says so.

I do not see an obvious way to change this within the config files. Does anyone know a good solution?

I don’t know if this is a “good solution”, but here is something I did…

I created a custom field on the page details editor called “Additional Title Text”.

Text entered into that field gets appended to the actual title in our page templates.

It won’t be part of the official LiveWhale title, but search engines will index it as if it is.

Great question. Some cases have db limitations that prevent this from working, but I think short_title is one you could experiment with by adding this to your livewhale/client/private.config.php:

$_LW->REGISTERED_MODULES['pages']['data_types']['pages']['fields_length']['short_title']=128;

(The db looks like it could support up to 255 chars in that field, provided the PHP config is there to allow it from the LW side of things.)
