Hi Paul,
Following is a list of banned words and characters:
select
drop
--
insert into
delete from
update
xp_
union
@@
|
<script
.js
If you use these you will run into problems. If you do not want to have these limitations you can remove some or all from the cleanchars routine in the shop$db.asp file however I would strongly advise against it.
We have closed down version 6.50 to try to make it as difficult as possible for hackers however the flip side is you are now limited to not using the above unfortunately.
Thanks
Cam

I came back to this today ...to put another page of content into the test site amazingly , this is my fourth page adding and it also had a banned word .... "drop" .... kinda amazed I have not read about this issue before .easy to solve though with the list of banned words .
Is nobody out there using content pages ?
If not why not ?
Do you know something i dont ?
Are content pages SEO frindly ? or is HTML still the best way to go for SEO?
Why am i attracted to banned words ?
PAUL

| I use mostly HTML pages for that, just easier to edit and it doesn't make a lot of sense to clog up the DB with static text. |

I have the same problem, its limited to 2000 char.
Anyone knows how to change the DB VARCHAR to TEXT ? Where ?
I received confirmation from HelpDesk, they said you need to change it TEXT type wich will allow 2147483647 char.
Here's the message they've sent me:
It appears that your TranslateProducts table has a field size limit of 2000 characters for the cdescription and extendeddesc fields.
The data you are trying to import is nearly 5000 characters in size and as this is more than the allowable size of this field the database is rejecting your changes.
You will need to extend the size of these fields to at least 5000 to fit in the data you require. You can set these to a data type of TEXT which will allow 2147483647 characters.
If you are unsure how to do this, your host should be able to assist you with this.

Google doesn't particularly hate ASP pages, but it definately likes HTML better.
The basic text would still follow the CSS in shop.css. You can use the same CSS classes in your own HTML pages, the most common would be al, ar and ac, which are Align Left, Align Right, and Align Center. There are many others as well.
i.e.; <td class="ar"> |

I solved my issue by NOT using some of the banned words and characters so i cant help you with your issue , sorry ! maybe ask support to try and confirm your issue is not this instead of trying to adjust database
OK i have managed to fill my MENU , i have been creating and filling content pages , tooo many , the automatic menu is full ...... Ok I could start submenuing things ... but just let say i didint want to do that ... i expected the menu to jump to two lines ? it didnt ! ?
