Description
I have a simple question which hopefully has a simple solution:
Is there any way to allow more characters in the optional "description" field in the ImageField module? Most of the images on the site on which I am working are scientific and require quite robust explanations; most of the time they are a few sentences in length. Thank you for any help in advance.
#1
You can set two variables to change the type and length of the description field.
In settings.php, add the following lines at the bottom:
<?php$conf['filefield_description_type'] = 'textarea';
$conf['filefield_description_length'] = NULL
?>
You could also use variable_set() to accomplish the same thing.
See #407410: Option to have longer description, which added this functionality.

Marking fixed since this was open for so long. It will close automatically in 2 weeks.
