Excel Export does not export all the text (1.53+) 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
Hi,

i collected some long texts having a survey. The texts are completely saved in database (i can see while "Browsing Responses". But when i export my survey to excel - then some fields don't contain the whole text.

It seems to me as if there is a cut... Maybe 150 characters are rendered and then in the moddle of a word it breaks.

Is this behaviour known?

Greeting and thx

i just found a surprising information: after 255 characters the output gets lost!

that is a magic number

maybe this helps to solve the problem...

thx a lot

we nedded to customize some PHP code... so the migration to 1.70 wont be as easy as usual... hmmm.

Is it possible to export the data from 1.53 - import in a local version of 1.70 and excel export it from there?

thx a lot

i have fond the bugfix here (Bugtracker)

01476: Character Limit on exporting Long Free Text-Question to .XLS or .CSV

Is there a way to get to know what the fix looks like? i just know that in 1.60 it was fixed...

I guess it is more easy for me to path a PHP file instead of upgrading... cause of the things mentionend above

greetings

Maybe you can find out more in the changelog.

Otherwise contact El-Matador or c_schmitz and ask which file has been updated. Then you can compare your version and the updated one and take over the fix into your version.
 
Beste Grüße/Best regards,
