This patch allows for configurable setting of a max. number of characters for (text) fields, defaulting the Excel limit of 32767. When cutting off text an ellipsis string gets added to the end of the cut-off string to mark that the string has been truncated. The default ellipsis is ""[...]"". trac.ini example: {{{ [exceldownload] # Example: Set another ellipsis string (default: ellipsis = [...]) ellipsis = ..... # Example: unset limits (default: max_text_size = 32767) max_text_size = 0 }}} Find patch based on r12346 of ExcelDownloadPlugin attached. '''Note''': Patch diff has been generated from ExcelDownloadPlugin patched with the (somewhat related) [attachment:ticket:10623:exceldownload_longtext_patch.diff exceldownload_longtext_patch.diff] as proposed in #10623. So ideally [attachment:ticket:10623:exceldownload_longtext_patch.diff exceldownload_longtext_patch.diff] should be applied first and then this patch afterwards ;-). Apart from that I guess it's trivial enough to do manually, if interested. Holger",enhancement,closed,normal,ExcelDownloadPlugin,normal,fixed,,,0.12
