search description buffer error

[pinbrook]

I thought it would be a good idea to use Product descriptions in my search results - but to limit the text using Normans description patch.

I hacked at the code and simply swapped in the search product description

$sShort = "";
$nCount = 0;
$sOriginal = '<actinic:variable name="SearchResultFullDescription" />'; 
foreach(explode(" ", $sOriginal) as $sWord)
	{
   if ($nCount > 14)
   	{
   	$sShort .= "... ";
   	break;
   	}
   $sShort .= $sWord . " ";
   $nCount++;
   }
echo $sShort;

but the site won't upload - I get the attached image error box. Any ideas?

Perhaps try reducing the number of characters as a test to try and find the limit. Maybe it's possible to increase the 2048 limit somewhere. (Does the size limit performance?)

I was tempted to comment but decided not to...

In fact, just adding product descriptions to the search results results in the above error.

So how do i get round the buffer problem?

Stating in the original post that i am using norman's patch to reduce the size of the description is a red herring, whether i use it with 14 words or 6 words makes no difference.

Hi there

On the results page, the description is inserted from the online search index , whereas the fix in the advanced user guide only works on pages that are generated on the desktop, where the text comes directly from the database. Sorry about that.
