    Hi everyone,

    I wanted to use the free php directory script from freephpdirectoryscript dot com. I like the usability of it and the clean look of the code.
    Two things I need some help with.
    First I can't get the description of the links to be more than 200 characters. I want the a character limit of 500 characters in the description field.

    And second the subcategories are now outlined in two columns. I was wondering how to make them in multiple columns.
    Can someone please look at the code and get back to me. I would really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance. :eek:

    I would not suggest that script as we have better options

    The free script comes with zero support and you would be in a mess if you face any problem in the later stage

    You could try http://www.indexscript.com/download.php

    Are there free templates for this script? Testing it out and you know what, it does look good :)

    Hi Freewebspace and everybody else,

    I tried that on before getting in this forum, but when I post the link, the description stays to 200 characters. I don't know why it doesn't change when you actually post the link with description. Thanks in advance.

    you need to change it in phpadmin



    if you do not know about this then



    copy this above code and save it as change.php


    just execute it via your browser

    http://www.yoursite.com/change.php


    This will definitely solve your problem provided you have changed the code in

    template_add_url.php and add_url.php

    That's really great Freewebspace. I just went into Myphpadmin, a couple of clicks later it changed it automatically. Thank you very much.
    I was also wondering whether you could change the amount of columns of your directory also in Myphpadmin? Greetz.
