Hi
My client has asked if there is anyway to increase the maximum number of
characters in an attachment name. It appears to display up to 25 characters
and then a ~.jpg or whatever. He wants the full name displayed.
Thanks
Edward

Hi,
To do this you can increase the variable maxnamelength in the macro
packName (macros.vm).

Actually you shouldn't change macros.vm. Instead, you should override
attachmentsinline.vm and redefine this variable in there. More
specifically, copy attachmentsinline.vm from templates/ to your skin
folder, and add at the start of it:
#set($maxnamelength = 1000)
Or, just remove the call to packName from the file, just use
$attach.filename

Thanks for reply.
I see how what you wrote would work, and thanks for it, but why can't I just
do it Jean-Vincents's way? That seemed to work fine.
