Issue Summary
When the Drupal 6 node title string allows 255 characters
error:
Title cannot be longer than 128 characters but is currently 184 characters long.
I'm using version 6.x-1.0-rc4 of Node Import
I need long node titles, so any way of getting it to accept 255 characters?

What step of the import does this problem occur on? Are you just importing the 'story' type?
I will have a look into the code to see if I can find where node_import makes this check if you could tell me these things.
Thanks.

Hi alzum, thanks for helping
I am importing into a new content type I have created, 'Catalogue Item', and it is set as a product type within ubercart.
The problem occurs after the actual importing step, where you see the results page.
Status: Completed
Rows imported: 74 rows
Rows with errors: 30 rows
I downloaded 'Rows with errors' and each of the errors is:
Title cannot be longer than 128 characters but is currently 236 characters long.
(or a number bigger than 128)
Much appreciated for your help

Hi
prompted by your suggestion whether it was a story content type or not, I tried importing as the story content type and I got no errors!
But setting the same content type as a product class in ubercart and then trying to import, I get the title error from before. So it's narrowed it down to a ubercart 2 and node import issue.
I'll post in relevant forums and report back here.

OK cool, thanks. I recreated the error using some stuff of my own.
Seems it only happens with Ubercart.. You'll need to check if this is a restriction in ubercart, it may not be a problem with node_import.
I'll find out more.

This isn't a problem with node_import. Ubercart has limited the product title to 128 characters. You'll have to get onto their forums to see how you can work around the limitation. If you can either get a module to allow longer titles, or hack ubercart and remove the maximum title limit, you should be ok to import.
I found this out by trying to manually create an item using 'create content' and the title was limited to 128 characters.

Report back for anyone reading this. Patch to Ubercart 2.0 to fix product title length:
