[req] Min, word count to submit post [/req]

Hey all

Was curious, if someone has any free time, pending on how simple this would be

To make a hack were there has to be a minimum amount of words / characters in a reply, before it can be posted?

So lets say you have to post 30 characters or more, if you don't, when you try to post that reply, you will be told,

"sorry, your post has to have at least 30 characters"

or something like that...?

shouldnt be very hard (at least the char counter):

open newreply.php

find

PHP Code:


		
			
    $title=censortext($title);

    $message=censortext($message);

below add:

PHP Code:


		
			
if(strlen($message)<30) {

  eval("standarderror(\"Your message is too short!\");");

  exit;

}

Or instead of letting the message go through and redirect to the error template, you can modify the javascript in the template that checks the message length by adding this:

Code:

        if (postmaxchars != 0) {

                if (theform.message.value.length < 30) {

                        alert("Your message is too short.\n\nIncrease your message to 5.\nIt is currently "+theform.message.value.length+" characters long.");

                        return false; }

                else { return true; }

        } else { return true; }

}

Untested, but should work. Advantage is that a message pops up if the post is too short (just like if it's too long) instead of redirecting the whole page. Disadvantage is that you have to change the code in newreply, newthread and quickreply. :)

anotzher disadvantage is that some which haven't enabled javascript won't see that ;)

my code works for all users

True. Maybe a combination of the 2 then. :) Isn't that how the max char allowed works?

yes, you're right, the combination is used for maxchars too :)

and yes a combination would be best ;)

Hey guys

is there any special way i should put both of them together? or just copy and paste one after the other?

Also where exactly should i paste this code?

Xenon

11-20-2002 03:17 PM

well, copy and paste them one after th other is impossible.

my change is a codechange to newreply.php
erwins instead is a change of the newreply template
