Hi - Is the Find New Music Limited to how many Artists a User can add? It seems to go to 50. Thanks.

Thanks

It's where the Users List the Artists that influence them. I have added more than 50 names. Is there a max limit? Because after say 51st it does not find the Artist in the search. In other words can we make the search to go beyond 50? Can it be done in the code? Thanks.

Thanks - understood now.
There isn't a limit on the number of influenced a profile can add, as such, but adding 50 'influences' to a text field is a lot so am wondering if the entire string made it un-truncated to the database. Check the profile_item_key table for that profile. Look at the 'profile_influences' value to see if the string you entered is all there.

Sorry can't find the profile_item_key table for the profile. I checked the profile_influences value and it's all there. I can understand that 90% of users would not exceed the 50 Artist influence mark, but then again for myself/Admin and a few labels that I'll have on board, they will be way past 50. Usually we see a '0' for any amount or if we specify a number we replace the zero. Where would you think that info would be?

I see that its your profile 'boptunez' that has all these influences. Where on the site are you doing the 'Find New Music' search?

I could be wrong but I swear someone else raised this not that long ago, and if memory serves it was declared there was a limit imposed on this.

Thanks @garymoncrieff for noticing. It's not a life/death situation because in reality most users will name 20 influential Artists and times that by 100 (various other users) it can be a nice amount. But for Labels - Managers - Publishers - Promotors that deal with an enormous amount of variety, they ought not be limited really, within reason.

Thanks - Found it.
I think the problem is that when datastore key values exceed 512 characters, Jamroom splits the value over multiple database table rows, and in this case, only the first row is actually being searched.
Checking this out further. Will let you know.
Thanks
