Hi all -
I'm having trouble locating where we can modify the length of the info1 fields. As standard, it is a text field with a limitation on characters. I would like to make it a text box to fit a larger description of each upload.
Thanks,
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
I don't think you can do that without hacking the program files.
What are you trying to do with the info fields?
It's not as slick, but you should be able to set up other fields and include them in the viewer code?

Hi Kenny,
Currently, the software doesn't support this and to accomplish it would require some custom programming work.
A quicker solution would be to use all 5 info fields (ie, description 1, description 2, description 3, etc) That way when you're outputting your upload, you can output all 5 info fields as a description. Using all 5 at 255 characters each would give you 1275 characters to work with.
Hope this helps
