    Related links with media, more then five items.

    Hi,

    When i use the Related Links with Media Datatype, i can save up to five links. No more.

    Trying to save a sixth, ASP.Net throws a error: String or binary data would be truncated. (Is the datafield to short?)

    I use the 1.0.0.1 version of the .dll.

    Thanks,

    BTW. If there's a quickfix to resolve this problem, do tell.

    Hi Anders,

    Just looked at the code, and found that it's storing the value as Nvarchar, as opposed to Ntext ... which means that the value does have an upper-limit!

    I have fixed this for the next version of uComponents... which is due out soon (in the next couple of weeks).

    In the meantime you have the following options:

    * Grab a copy of the v1.0 branch from CodePlex ... (download from here) ... fix the bug (it's line 33 of Shared.PrevalueEditors.NoOptionsPrevalueEditor). Compile it, then drop the uComponents.Core.dll into your /bin folder ... and it should just work?! (fingers-crossed)

    * Go into the database, run this query:

    SELECT * FROM cmsDataType WHERE controlId = 'c9525f23-7b7a-4dab-baeb-08f957bddd50'

    ... then change the "dbType" from "Nvarchar" to "Ntext".  But remember if you re-save the data-type (prevalue editor), that change will be reverted back to "Nvarchar".

     

    The only caveat with all this is that when you change the property data type from "Nvarchar" to "Ntext" - the existing data will remain in the Nvarchar column ... effectively hiding it from your document-types/content ... so you'll need to re-populate that content.  (Unless you manually go through the database copy-n-pasting between the columns ... or writing a SQL UPDATE query?)

    Good luck! (Apologies for the bug!)

    Cheers, Lee.

    Excellent.

    It was as i expected. I appriciate the quickfix step-by-step, however im in the middle of a release and can't really afford the time-loss.

    Is there a set release date?

    No fixed release date... we're still in active development of a few new data-types (and other very exciting features!). Currently aiming for a beta release in the next 2 weeks.
