eZ appearently does not accept very long links (which I need to use since they relate to our libarry system). Is there a way to change the length og charecters allowed for links ?Helle

Maybe if you give a little bit more details about your problem, someone could help you. Where exactly do you have problems with long links? With the ezurl() operator or somewhere else?

The problem occurs when you in a xml field (with or without the editor enabled) tries to make a very long link - the end characters are simply erased.In fact the same occurs if you in other datatypes tries to insert long texts, e.g. in an enum datatype in a class.

Hi Helle
I'm guessing the URLs are longer than 255 characters? The (mysql) database field where these are stored (ezurl.url) is a varchar(255), so there is a 255 char limit on URLs.
I suspect you may be able to convert this to a text field to allow for a larger URLs.
