Setting a minimum and maximum thread title limit?

[xlguy]

Hi guys, I was wondering if there was a place I could hook into to set both a minimum and maximum topic title length? I thought this was an option in vB but now I can't seem to find it. Unless I'm going mad? :rolleyes:

Just a polite bump to see any suggestions, thanks.

I dont think you can set thread title limits, you can set post limits though

AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Message Posting Options

Thanks, yeah I'm looking for a similar setting but for topic titles.

I imagine it's a relatively simple hook which could be written in to a plugin? I just want to stop users from being able to have topic titles like "lol" and "see this"

I've finally had time to code this up, enjoy:

I haven't checked your code, xlguy, but to force the limit on character amount in thread titles just look for (in your posting templates):


maxlength="85"


And adjust it to whatever. :)

Yeah, the maximum length wasn't really the main issue, it was the minimum length. The plugin deals with that and also now can remove excessive '.....' from the end. Thanks for the help though.
