Is there an option to have where a member is from in the avatar area? US, Netherlands, russia, etc?

 

[Jeremy]

Their location? Should be an option.

 

[tommydamic68]

It is an option, can you have it show as in the attachment? in the avatar area , joined date, messages, likes received - etc.

 

[Jeremy]

Its an option, in the same place you enabled the other elements in Style Properties.

The default limit is 50 characters. It looks great when the member uses a minimal amount of characters for the location as it's floating right. Looks terrible when there are too many characters.

In previous versions of Xenforo the data was below the label, like this:

Location:
San Francisco, CA

If you want to have the maximum character limit be lower than 50 characters, you could edit the following file:

/library/Xenforo/DataWriter/User.php

Look for the following line and change the 50 to whatever value you want.

'location'  => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'default' => '', 'maxLength' => 50),

You could use this mod from Brogan to give the old look prior to 1.2 with the data below the labels.

Any way after the change of characters to refresh and fix the long names? I used both of your suggestions, Reduced characters to 19- (won't fall to next line) and added brogans CSS.

 

[Jeremy]

If you added Brogan's CSS I would revert back to 50. It will make your life easier as you need to apply that on each update. But no, there is no way to retroactively enforce a character limit.

You could write a php script to shorten existing values to 19 characters.
