    I am using TW 1.9.7. I may have exceeded the 250 character limit on the Site Identity creation screen. Now, when I log in with admin authority, the pages only load to the line div id="sitehead" resulting in a blank screen. When logged in as a regular user or as anonymous, I get full pages.

    I cannot manage the site at this point. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Bill!

    Sorry about this. We are fixing in 1.9.8 so this is no longer a problem.

    Do you have access to phpMyAdmin? If so, please find the "table tiki_preferences" and edit the value of "sitemycode"

    Best regards,

    M 😉

    Thanks, Marc.

    The man with the golden key called in from an RV park in South Dakota and we talked through the issue. He used phpMyAdmin to delete everything in the "sitemycode" field and everything is restored to normal.

    This fix in 1.9.8, does it have to do with the filed length or am I likely to screw this thing up again by putting ANYTHING in there?

    There is a checkbox that you can use to increase the field size. Use that.

    Then, to test, without risking breaking anything, add content there but do not put any html. Just pure text. (html can break your site because of missing closing tags).

    After you add the text, click save, move around 2-3 clicks on the site and come back to the Site Identity admin panel. If the complete text is still there, it means your DB is now able to handle more.

    Be careful about your html. Make sure all tags are closed. And do not try to use Smarty because you could lock yourself out again and need to call South Dakota again. (I am sure the man with the golden key secretly relishes these moments, but still...) More details here:

    If you have FTP access, you can edit templates/tiki-top_bar.tpl This way, you can always erase it if you lock yourself out.

    Best regards,

    M 😉
