Hello. We are importing from a google doc. Some of the text value characters are a little long and its cutting off the last few characters.
Im not seeing any settings I can alter that affect the char length. Also sure its not an html or css thing, the values are not saving completely in the backend. Thanks
When you're importing some cells that might have longer character number,
during the table "preview" in the import, you will see the option to choose the column types.
For columns that will have longer text, the best will be to choose a "multi-line string",
that way this table will create a TEXT data type in your database, rather than "VARCHAR" , which is limited to 255 characters.
-
- Basically, at this moment, if you have already set that column to be a "one-line string" when it was created; you can either go to your database using something like PhPMyAdmin,
and manually change the type of column from VARCHAR( which has a limitation of 255 characters) to TEXT ( 65,535 limit) ,
- or you can delete and recreate this column in wpDataTables and set it right away to be a "multi-line string", this way you will ensure that it has this much higher character limit.
This depends on the type of table, if it will allow you to remove/add new columns.
Let me know how it goes, and if you need further assistance, please. Thanks.
