Long Posts Edit.

Hey, just wondering if I could somehow make it so if someones post is longer then 4 lines it adds something at th end like 'LONG POST'?

How would you count '4 lines'? If you open your browser window up, the line gets longer.

I didn't think of that, would it be easier to do if it was x words or x letters? Like, if it's more then 200 words.

Probably. But, I now picture a long post having the words LONG POST at the bottom of the post and wonder what the purpose of that is except that it makes the post even longer. :confused:

Any idea as to how I could do it? I just said 'LONG POST', it would be something else but I don't think it's appropriate for these forums <_<. Would be "disregard that ...." and if you know it you'll fill in the blank.

Well, you'll have to create a plugin which checks the length of the $post[message] and then if it's longer than xx, you would append "LONG POST" (keeping with the example) to the end.

PHP Code:


		
			
if (strlen($post[message]) > '200') 
$post[message] = $post[message] . "LONG POST";

I'm not sure of the plugin location or variable names (you can look them up in newpost.php file).

PHP Code:


		
			
// count lines -- see, it can be done!
$linecount = count(explode('<br />', $post['message']));

// check lines
if ($linecount > 4)
{
    $post['message'] .= 'Long Post!';
}

But then you are counting on line breaks inserted by the user, no? So they can write a huge paragraph and it would just be considered one line? I guess the OP can try the code and see how it works.
