Please enter a message with no more than 420 characters

Where do we adjust this 420 characters limit on profile post?

 

[x4rl]

library/XenForo/DataWriter/ProfilePostComment.php (at a guess)

protected function _preSave()
    {
        if ($this->isChanged('message'))
        {
            $maxLength = 420;
            if (utf8_strlen($this->get('message')) > $maxLength)
            {
                $this->error(new XenForo_Phrase('please_enter_message_with_no_more_than_x_characters', array('count' => $maxLength)), 'message');

I think this may be hardcoded as I've never seen a setting for it in the ACP.

Edit: Confirmed by Vodkaholic above.

 

[Andy.N]

Arghhh. Thanks Vodkaholic
I thought (and hope) this hardcoded value is available via ACP.

More... open library/XenForo/DataWriter/DiscussionMessage/ProfilePost.php

Find and fix: $maxLength = 140;
$options[self::OPTION_MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH] = 420;

You might also have to edit the database field if it has a max value attached to it. Also in the getFields function.

Has this option been implemented in newer XF versions...

 

[Paul B]

Nothing has changed.

My post here is English! However, German and no English is spoken in my forum!
I myself must decide what language is spoken in my forum! This topic is news about more characters in the profile, this link shows the solution: http://pinnunity.de/threads/profil-nachrichten-zeichen-begrenzung-von-140-bis-2000.5401/

You can not decide what is spoken in other forums for a language. I got here via Google of much translated.

I'll see how easy this is to put into an addon. No promises though, lol.

I think I can easily make the 420 character limit an option.

See you: https://*******.com/resources/advanced-profile-posts.143/
its Fantastic this Addon have the Option!

I created an addon here on xenforo ($5USD) that allows a person to change the 120 and 420 character limit of profile posts and comments:

Not good for money, should be free of charge.

That should extend to 50 characters limit for page title, etc

 

[SneakyDave]

The page title is a different limit and beast, because it is set at VARCHAR(50) in the database schema, so in order to change that, the database structure would have to change, which may affect other nodes, such as forum and forum category name
