max number of characters in an event description – increase from 1000 to ?? maybe 3000?
I have users who want to put a significant amount of text into the event description. This would be useful if it is desirable that the description be carried into google calendar, for instance, so just putting the text into the topic wouldn’t satisfy that use case.
You mean the description in the pop up dialog box when you create an event? Do your users see that somewhere? So putting the description in the topic where you are creating the event won’t work for your use case?
We are a running club and use the desciption for turn by turn directions, and if the route gets long there is concern there isn’t enough room.
The additional text is in the topic, but if the user saves to their calendar it isn’t visible on their calendar entry (at least for google calendar), but the description is.
it avoids having to click on the event to see the description, allowing people to see if the event in question is interesting or not
same case for adding to the personal calendar. Seeing the description beforehand helps me decide whether or not to add it to my calendar, avoiding too many manipulations
Be careful, this is just an idea. It’s sometimes easier said than coded
제가 겪는 가장 큰 문제는 사용자가 이벤트 설명을 추가할 때 ***묵시적 실패(silent failure)***가 발생한다는 점입니다. 설명이 1,000자를 초과하면 이벤트 데이터베이스 레코드가 생성되지 않는 것으로 보입니다. 텍스트는 여전히 [event] 블록 내에서 토픽에 남아 있지만, 이벤트 자체는 사용자에게 어디에서도 표시되지 않습니다.
이러한 상황이 발생했음을 인지하고 토픽 게시물에 들어가서 설명을 이벤트 블록 밖으로 이동시켜야 합니다.
