Limit summary textarea length to 540 chars #153

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Don't allow the user to enter more than 540 characters for the summary.

Since in the html app we are truncating it at this length - it doesn't make
sense to allow the user to enter more than this amount in the flex app - as
the searcher won't get to see it

I'm not sure I agree with this (read: I don't agree with this at all!). This 
would be
using the UI to dictate the data model. Just because we only show the first 540 
chars
now doesnt mean that later (or another UI) won't show more...

The data model can still accommodate longer summaries - but we can limit it 
from the
GUI (like we do with the star rating - i.e. setting the value to 100, where the 
data
model allows any value from 1 to 100)

Summary is supposed to be concise - to allow the searcher to skim over them 
quickly.
Not having the limit enforced in the flex app means that the markerupper can 
make the
summaries too long.
