Changelog size allowed - over 1/2 not showing

Post by trogladyte »

I have a client who has a payroll company. As only the Government can do, the list of tax changes each year (multiplied by 50 states) is enormous. I would have attached the file, but it seems this has been disabled. It may suffice to say it's an html file done almost totally in one massive table with lots and lots or rows, or 188k in size.

The problem is this. I cut and pasted the raw code from his file for JUST the table part of it (left out the head stuff and CSS). What displays in the changelog under the detail pop up formats as he set it up. The bad part is it only displays as far as Hawaii and then chops it off. I originally was going to use Akeeba Release System, but it did the same and I (wrongly it appears) assumed it was a limitation within Akeeba. Now it seems to be a limitation of Joomla. Including the <hed>, <body> and <html> tags plus a bit of CSS, the files runs to 3825 lines of code. It is cut off after line 1308.

As an update, I rewrote the whole file, removing the myriad of tables, etc, and modified the CSS in the Phoca file (one of them, can't remember which offhand) and it all now displays.

Probably this will never be an issue for anyone else, but I'd still like to know why this was happening.

Me either Jan. As I mentioned, it did the same with Akeeba Release, but worked fine as a standard Joomla article. The file needed rewriting anyway - there were SO many nested table and loads of inline styling I'm not surprised I had issues!! Cheers.
