Hi,
I changed the length of the URL title field in Kyara settings to 150 chars, but it does not work.
The source view in the browser of the Publish page shows that Kyara added these javascript lines:
$("input[name='title']").attr("maxlength", "150").after("<span style=\"float: right; margin: -1.6em 1em 0 0; position: relative\"></span>");
$("input[name='url_title']").attr("maxlength", "150").after("<span style=\"float: right; margin: -1.6em 1em 0 0; position: relative\"></span>");
The first line works correctly - I can input 150 chars in Title field, but the second line does not - URL title field still allows only 75 chars.

What version of Kyara are you using?
What version of EE are you using?
I tested with Kyara 1.1 on EE 2.4, and the maxlength=”” attribute for the url_title field changed to the value I set in Kyara.

Yes, the value of maxlength attribute changed, but it’s still not possible to save url_title longer than 75 chars.

Unfortunately this appears to be something EE does internally. Usually the field’s maxlength=”” attribute and the database VARCHAR() value can be modified through Kyara and it works fine, but in the case of url_title only, the following line is found in /system/expressionengine/libraries/Api.php:
// Field is limited to 75 characters, so trim url_title before querying
$url_title = substr($url_title, 0, 75);
This shortens the url_title no matter what. You can increase that number if you wish, but is considered a core hack, which I can’t recommend.
Also considering removing the ability to modify url_title altogether in the future: very long url_titles could have SEO implications.
