[Building Sakai] FCK Editor limit in samigo

[Karen Tsao]

Hi Thach Le,

It is set in the JSF files which contain FCK editor. For example, in the
sam/samigo-app/src/webapp/jsf/author/trueFalse.jsp, you can find following
code:

<samigo:wysiwyg rows="140" value="#{itemauthor.currentItem.itemText}"
hasToggle="yes">
     <f:validateLength minimum="1" maximum="4000"/>
</samigo:wysiwyg>

You can increase the length by changing the "maximum" field to a bigger
number.

By they way, this is set for many JSF files. You need to take care of all
the places that you want to extend.

Thanks,
Karen
