Well, if you want to split hairs... function longer_slogan_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) { switch ($form_id) { case 'system_site_information_settings': $form['site_slogan']['#type'] = 'textarea'; $form['site_slogan']['#rows'] = 1; $form['site_slogan']['#maxlength'] = 256; break; } return $form; } function longer_slogan_uninstall() { $slogan = variable_get('site_slogan', ''); if (drupal_strlen($slogan) > 128) { drupal_set_message(t('The current slogan exceeds the default maximum length (128). It will continue to work, but the Site Information form will fail if edited.'), 'error'); } } I would be happy if core just changed the 128 default to 256. And yes, I will be submitting a patch for D8. Nancy E. Wichmann, PMP Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L.

I totally agree, Dave, that's why I was hoping someone had a module it would fit into. Worse case is that I can add it to Util.
function custom_form_system_site_information_settings_alter(&$form) { $form['site_slogan']['#type'] = 'textarea'; } 3 lines, actually. I'd say that this is even too specific for Util. Luckily, D7 will allow you to put this code into your theme, so you don't even need a custom.module. sun No virus found in this incoming message.
