Increasing the Number of Characters Permitted by a HiddenField

Simply edit your generated form in a text editor and replace, for example:
$ffForm->addField(new HiddenField("my_hidden_field", "Some value", 255));
with:
$ffForm->addField(new HiddenField("my_hidden_field", "Some value", null)); // This will set an unlimited max length
Alternatively, you can always make any field a hidden field just by using the setHidden() method. For example, if you have the field:
$ffForm->addField(new PersonNameField("friends_name", "Friend's Name", FORM_FIELD_REQUIRED));
just below this line add:
$ffForm->formFields["friends_name"]->setHidden(true);
