You might want to look closer at Sitecore's Alias functionality however - if you catch it on a good day when it works as intended, you can carve off a fair chunk of a deep path with it :-)Mark Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054254475245848945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20883010.post-35680087033562407552008-08-13T11:28:00.000+02:002008-08-13T11:28:00.000+02:00Hey Mark, I know you posted this entry years ago! ...Hey Mark, I know you posted this entry years ago! But I am new to Sitecore, I just started developing with Sitecore in Feb this year and I encountered a similar problem with item names that are too long.<BR/><BR/>You possibly know this by now, but just incase there is a setting in the Web.Config file where you can set the maximum item length (MaxItemLength .. trying to remember off the top of my head). I believe the default is 100 characters, which is fine, but then of course you have the problem with character lengths with IIS I think the maximum is 200 and something characters?? So it is a tad frustrating if you want lots of folders within folders thus requires lengthy filename characters..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
