I have a very long title and this title doesn’t appear till the end. How to fix this problem? I can’t make the title shorter, it has to be this one.
See website: http://www.filipdegroote.be
go to ‘Bibliography and book reviews’ – ‘Physical examination and observation in homoeopathy’
I used the Ja-Rave template.

Can you post a screenshot highlighting the exact area you are having issues with?

I see your problem now.

In Joomla there are hardcoded limits for title lengths. I think (but have not tested) that you will have to edit the Joomla core. There might be a few places wwhere this needs doing, for example

administratorcomponentscom_sectionsadmin.sections.html (line 253) :


<td colspan="2"><input class="text_area"
type="text" name="title" id="title"
value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($row->title); ?>"
size="50" maxlength="50" title="<?php echo
JText::_( 'TIPTITLEFIELD' ); ?>" /></td>

I think for this modification you may be better off asking over on the Joomla forums.

I solved the problem in another way: I wrote ‘&’ instead of ‘and’, and the title appears till the end.

But, I looked to the html-page you metioned, and I could change the maxlenght, but if I change the html-page, how do I load it to the server. Do I have to load the whole package of Joomla again? Or can I do it for just 1 page? And does Joomla knows where to put this page?

To change those you need to download the file with an ftp app, edit it then re-upload just that file. Problem is there may be more instances of maxlength and without a bit of effort it might take some time to find all the ones we need. If you have fixed it with the use of an & then that is probably the best way.
