    Under the add listings, there is a limit placed on tags:

    Tags are short keywords, with no space within.(eg: tag1, tag2, tag3) Up to 40 characters only.

    Based on the database settings, looks like this actually has a 254 character limit and the 40 character “limit” is actually form entry imposed.

    Is there any easy way to increase this limit and change the corresponding help tip on the form?

    cheers

    The tag limit is set by the field which has maxlength=”40″.
    A quick workaround is to change 

    maxlength="<?php echo TAGKW_TEXT_COUNT;?>"

    to 

    maxlength="90"

    (or whatever is your limit, if any) in the file geodirectory_template_actions.php

    You can find the text
    Tags are short keywords, with no space within.(eg: tag1, tag2, tag3) Up to 40 characters only. in the .po file

    Thanks. Changes in the actions file will potentially get overwritten though with any updates unless they are ported over every time?

    cheers

    Yes, that’s why I said “quick” 🙂
    You need a function in the child theme so in this case it won’t be overwritten, I will do that later, at the moment I’m not home.

    No worries. That would be great though if you get a chance…unfortunately that kind of knowledge is still outside my pay grade 😉

    Actually seems like an ideal “configuration” setting as I’m sure the desired limit would vary considerably depending on site specifics.

    cheers

    Hi Simone,

    Thank you for doing it. I also need to increase the keyword or tag characters beyond 40. 🙂

    unfortunately that “block” of code isn’t in any hook so it can’t be added in functions.php.
    the value is defined in a constant defined in languagues.php

    define('TAGKW_TEXT_COUNT',40);

    I can ask to Stiofan to add an option for the next releases

    Thanks for checking.

    I definitely think it would be worth looking at adding that kind of functionality.

    cheers

    Just wanted to check and see if this made the list for the next update? 😉
