Font Awesome Icons & Limited Title Characters

[fasko-web]

Not sure if this is still being worked on or not, but I've come across a problem when trying to add Font Awesome icons into the titles for the side boxes. (As my lengthy title explains)

The icons will go in perfectly. However, I noticed there's a character limit on the title.

For example: <i class="fa fa-comments"></i> Recent Posts Will only display <i class="fa fa-comments"></i> R

I just think the character limit should be bumped up for cases like that. I'm also fairly new to all the css/html stuff to begin with, so there's probably some way around it I'm just not aware of.

Thanks for the report. Off the top of my head, I can't remember why I've truncated the title text. I'll have a look when there is time and see if I can figure out a solution for you.

I'm still setting up my new computer. Once I'm done I will take a look at it.

Okay, @GXD3S I see the problem.

Unfortunately, when creating the database rows, I only allocated the sidebox title field as VARCHAR(32)-- limiting the length of titles to 32 characters...

This would mean that to solve your issue on my end will mean creating an upgrade script for a future version to redefine that field as VARCHAR(128) or perhaps even TEXT...

To solve the problem on your end, you can go into PHPMyAdmin and redefine the field as you wish. If you need help with that, let me know and I will do what I can.

Sorry I take forever to reply, but I am extremely busy.

I replaced it with VARCHAR(128) and it's working perfectly now, thank you!
