Changing Field Sizes

[سونا يوسُف‎]

Dear Tomas,

I wanted to ask if you could guide me on how to change the size of the External Id field in the Instructional Offerings -> Class Setup page, as well as the Abbv field in the Subject Areas page.  

I use Unitime version 4.9

First, you need to increase the size of the database field. That would be

- class_suffix column of the class_ table (40 chars by default) for the class external id that can be edited on the Class Setup page

- subject_area_abbreviation column of the subject_area table (40 chars by default) for the subject area abbreviation

Second, you need to update the appropriate size in the Hibernate model

- annotation for BaseClass_.getClassSuffix()

- annotation for BaseSubjectArea.getSubjectAreaAbbreviation()

(We also have the sizes in the hmb.xml files, e.g., PreferenceGroup.hbm.xml for the class_suffix, but these are only used to generate the Hibernate model -- ant create-model.)

Third, the user interface needs to be updated to allow longer texts

- ../gwt/client/offerings/ClassSetupTable.java for the class external id

- ../server/admin/SubjectAreas.java for the subject area abbreviation -- there are two numbers, field width (100px) and text max width (40chars)
