i'm still being forced to enter at least 1 character in new posts after installing

akanevsky 11-08-2005 11:19 AM
Of course you need at least one character. You don't just send empty posts. That is why I made it check for one character. Duh :P

yeah but i want people to be able to upload empty posts :D
the reason for this is so that people can make posts that consist only of the attachment they've uploaded and nothing else.
is there something i can change in your xml that would allow for an empty post?
the hack works great for me otherwise :p

Yep:
Code:
In the product, find the plugin global_start.
Replace 1 with 0 in the following line:

$vbulletin->options['postminchars'] = 1;

I'm gonna install this hack when I get home, could really use it!

I am not sure that'll work. vBulletin developers are not idiots to allow insertion of empty posts. Duh...

Anthony, can this be made to work for PMs, too?

akanevsky 06-16-2006 02:59 PM
I don't believe character limit applies to private messages... Does it?

Yes, sir, there is the pmmaxchars under Private Messaging Options. I don't know about the minimum characters though.

akanevsky 06-16-2006 07:12 PM
Oh. In that case, yeah - it can be done for private messages too.

Boofo 06-16-2006 07:24 PM
Great! Looking forward to it, sir. ;)

Boofo 06-17-2006 11:21 PM
Any word on this yet?

akanevsky 06-17-2006 11:29 PM
Please do not expect an update within the next couple of days, because I currently have other priorities - such as, for instance, final exams. Once there is a word, you'll now 'cause I'll post an update :)

Boofo 06-17-2006 11:42 PM
No problem. That's all I needed to hear. I'll make my own. Thanks anyway. ;)

akanevsky 06-22-2006 12:27 PM
Hack updated.

Boofo 06-22-2006 06:12 PM
Shouldn't this:

PHP Code:
    $vbulletin->options['postmaxchars'] = 1000000;
    $vbulletin->options['pmmaxchars'] = 1000000; 
actually be this?

PHP Code:
    $vbulletin->options['postmaxchars'] = 0;
    $vbulletin->options['pmmaxchars'] = 0; 
beings as 0 disables it?

And yes, we had already added that, but good job. ;)

akanevsky 06-22-2006 06:19 PM
Maybe, but I don't believe one would ever make a post of 1,000,000+ characters :)

Boofo 06-22-2006 06:29 PM
Whatever. Just thought I would post the correct way to do it. ;)
