You'd have to go into MySQL database and in table "hesk_users" change field type for 'signature' from "varchar(255)" to "text". You can use phpMyAdmin to do that if your host supports it.

Also open profile.php in a plain text editor and delete line

Code: Select all

if (strlen($_SESSION['signature'])>255) {hesk_error($hesklang['signature_long']);}

How do increase the signature length in Hesk 2.4.2?
I changed the MySQL database value.

Changing

if (strlen($_SESSION['new']['signature'])>255)
in admin/profile.php does not work.

Thanks

You didn't change MySQL database value, because 255 is the maximum "varchar" fields will accept in MySQL.

You will need to change field type to "text" in MySQL.

You're correct, I made a mistake editing the database value. However, deleting if (strlen($_SESSION['new']['signature'])>255) does not work. I had to change it to if (strlen($_SESSION['new']['signature'])>10000) to be able to save the signature. 10k is a lot but I'm the only one answering tickets so it doesn't matter.
