Richard Lundberg	Friday 05 December 2008 4:10:25 pm Hi, Is there any way of setting a limit on the number of keywords entered in the keyword field of a particular object. I have bloggers and article writers entering excessively large amounts of keywords to try and increase exposure in the tag cloud for a particular item. I would like to impose a keyword limit to prevent this. Thanks in advance for any ideas Richard Lundberg www.peakm3.com

If you have existing content classes and objects, you can change the ezkeywords datatype to ezpublickeywords on the database level without information loss (have a look at the source for the exact string, it's defined right at the beginning).
