Title and description field max-length (in custom modules)

[Matte01990]

Hello everybody.

Is it possible to change title and description field max-length in custom modules? In my database table I have a varchar(255) column for 'title' and a 'text' column for 'description', but my db settings seem to be useless: when I create a new row in my table and click submit, if my input has more than 10 characters or something, no new line is created. It works fine with inputs with length < 10.

Here it is my relevant code:

<?php 

class AdminMyBlockContentController extends ModuleAdminController 
{
	public $bootstrap = true ;
	
	public function __construct() { 
	
		$this->table = 'my_block_content'; 
		$this->className = 'MyBlockContent'; 
		$this->lang = true;
		
		$this->addRowAction('view');
		$this->addRowAction('edit');
		$this->addRowAction('delete');
		
		//fields display
		$this-> fields_list = array(
			'id_my_block_content' => array('title' => $this->l('ID'), 'align' => 'center', 'width' => 25), 
			'nome' => array('title' => $this->l('Name'), 'width' => 120), 
			'desc' => array('title' => $this->l('Description'), 'width' => 120),
			'link' => array('title' => $this->l('Link'), 'width' => 120), 
			'file_url' => array('title' => $this->l('file_url')), 
			'active' => array('title' => $this->l('Enabled'), 'align' => 'center', 'active' => 'status', 'type' => 'bool', 'orderby' => false, 'class' => 'fixed-width-xs')
			); 
		
		parent::__construct();
	}
	
	//add form
	public function renderForm()
    {
		
		if (!($obj = $this->loadObject(true)))
		   return;
		
		$this->fields_form = array(
			'legend' => array(
				'title' => $this->l('Add/Edit Box')
			), 
			'input' => array(
						array(
							'type' => 'text', 
							'label' => 'Nome', 
							'name' => 'nome'
						), 
						array(
							'type' => 'textarea',
							'label' => 'Description',
							'name' => 'desc',
							'autoload_rte' => 'rte' //Enable TinyMCE editor for short description
						),
						array(
							'type' => 'file', 
							'label' => $this->l('file_url'), 
							'name' => 'file_url',
							'display_image' => true
						),
						array(
							'type' => 'text', 
							'label' => 'Link', 
							'name' => 'link'
						),
						array(
						'type' => 'switch',
						'label' => $this->l('Enable'),
						'name' => 'active',
						'required' => false,
						'class' => 't',
						'is_bool' => true,
						'values' => array(
								array(
									'id' => 'active_on',
									'value' => 1,
									'label' => $this->l('Enabled')
								),
								array(
									'id' => 'active_off',
									'value' => 0,
									'label' => $this->l('Disabled')
								)
						)
					)
			),
			'submit' => array(
					'title' => $this->l('Save'),
					'name' => 'submit_form'
			) 
		);
			
		return parent::renderForm();
	}
	
	public function postProcess()
    {
		//checks if submit
		if (Tools::isSubmit('submit_form'))
		{
			//insert data into my_block_content
			$insertData = array(
				 'nome' => Tools::getValue('nome'),
				 'desc' => Tools::getValue('desc'),
				 'active' => Tools::getValue('active'),
				 'link' => Tools::getValue('link'),
				 'file_url' => Tools::getValue('file_url')
				  );
			Db::getInstance()->insert("my_block_content", $insertData);

		}
		//checks if delete 
		elseif (Tools::isSubmit('delete').$this->table)
		{
			Db::getInstance()->delete('my_block_content', 'id_my_block_content = '.$_GET[id_my_block_content]);
		}
	}
}

Solved. The issue was due to some special characters that were not allowed.
