Too much Text in Exit Page Causes Coding Error

Too much Text in Exit Page Causes Coding Error

Hi Gordon,

I am creating TaskChain Exit Pages for my exercises.  (Happily now they are displaying a link to the next activity - thank you for fixing that.)

The Exit Pages are about 8 sentences long plus some graphics and a media player.  I am able to save a certain amount of text in the Exit Page but then I seem to hit a limit and nothing I do will make TaskChain accept more text.  This is the error I get :

Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Invalid value in set_user_preference() call, value is is too long for the value column

More information about this error

Debug info: 
Error code: codingerror
Stack trace:
  • line 1838 of /lib/moodlelib.php: coding_exception thrown
  • line 1897 of /lib/moodlelib.php: call to set_user_preference()

With thanks in advance for your help.

Deborah,

this issue is fixed now but I won't release a new version of TaskChain yet, because I am just finishing off the backup/restore. I expect to finish this tomorrow.

regards

Hi Gordon!

I uploaded the new version of TaskChain and I can confirm that I am now able to add content to my Exit Pages to my heart's content!  And my Exit pages display a beautiful link to the next activity!  So my Exit Page woes are all fixed!

Thanks so much for sorting this all out.
