How to increase length of forum title

Hello,

As the title say, " How to increase length of forum title " ...

It is set at size="35" in the page source. The page is admincp/forum.php. So, you can change it in there on line 38:

PHP Code:


		
			
    print_input_row($vbphrase['title'], 'forum[title]', $forum['title']);

function print_input_row has a default of 35, so pass something else:

PHP Code:


		
			
function print_input_row($title, $name, $value = '', $htmlise = true, $size = 35, $maxlength = 0, $direction = '', $inputclass = false)

Just don't change it to anything larger than 100 since that is the database type - varchar(100)

Lynne i couldn't find this :

PHP Code:


		
			
function print_input_row($title, $name, $value = '', $htmlise = true, $size = 35, $maxlength = 0, $direction = '', $inputclass = false)

Where should i look for it ??

You don't need to know where that line is, but it is in includes/adminfuctions.php if you need to see it. I was simply showing you what the function accepts as parameters. You need to modify the other line in admincp/forum.php to pass something in the fifth spot so that the default of 35 is not used.

I don't know why you would think it's a good idea to have a longer title tag :rolleyes:

Sometimes it is important if you have titles in a foreign language because a single character may take four or so 'spaces' instead of just one.

That looks nice, however I did remove the link to your board since this is a PG-13 rated site and that site is not. :D

To allow longer titles, all you need to do is change the column in the database. No code edits needed.

Is this still the way to change the forum title length? I wanted to put an image in front of the forum title and some of the forums are just a little long as far as the number of characters.

If you want to allow for a longer forum title length, then yes, you need to change the column in the database. I don't know that this is the best method to add an image in front of the forum title though - I am pretty sure there are mods to do this or just a condition to add in the templates you want to do this in.

Thanks Lynne, I'll keep searching for mods to add the images to the forum title. :up:
