Hi! I'd like to know how to increase the amount of information a Custom Field (from the Custom Field block) will show.

Here I have "renamed" the Custom Field to Biography.
http://www.quantummuse.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=335

I'd like it to show the bio of each artist under their Album. But, as you can see, it gets chopped off at the end.

What file would I modify in order to increase the text?

Thanks!

(p.s. I wasn't sure if this request went under this topic, or the Customizations topic, so I posted to both. I assume the Admin people can determine the best place.)

this is hardcoded, even the database table is hardcoded to have a value of maximally 255 characters.
you'd have to change
modules/customfield/classes/CustomfieldMap.class
modules/customfield/classes/interfaces/CustomfieldMap.inc
modules/customfield/classes/GalleryStorage/DatabaseStorage/schema/...
