exempt admin/mods from max characters in posts?

well...after much searching I haven't been able to find this

I have some team members that make very large posts with important information so I have to have my max characters at like 30,000

how would one be able to set that lower and make admin and mods exempt from that?

vb version 2.2.x

thanks for your help in advance

I believe this will do it for you. You might have to tinker a bit and I haven't tested it.

yea...I had already tried that but it didn't work

I am thinking it needs to look something like

PHP Code:


		
			
if (strlen($message)>$postmaxchars and $postmaxchars!=0 and ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=6) or ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=5) or ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=7)) {

    eval("do what it is supposed to do")."\");");

}else{

    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_toolong")."\");");

  }

granted I don't know what it is supposed to do and I am spit at php....lol

PHP Code:


		
			
if (strlen($message)>$postmaxchars and $postmaxchars!=0 and !in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(5, 6, 7))) {

    eval("do what it is supposed to do")."\");");

}else{

    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_toolong")."\");");

  }

Just use what amy has in her file but change the first line to what I have.

okay...this is what I have in those two files now:

Quote:

if (strlen($message)>$postmaxchars and $postmaxchars!=0 and !in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(5, 6, 7))) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_toolong ")."\");");
}

but it still limits admin and mods

does it need the }else{ before the eval?

we'll sneak up on this booger yet :)

I just realized the problem with my code. The "Or"s need to be "And"s.

I tried it with "and" in place of the "or" and still doesn't allow team members to by-pass the limit

just a recap on what has been tried:

first tried this:

Quote:

if (strlen($message)>$postmaxchars and $postmaxchars!=0 and ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=6) or ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=5) or ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=7)) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_toolong ")."\");");
}

then tried this:

Quote:

if (strlen($message)>$postmaxchars and $postmaxchars!=0 and !in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(5, 6, 7))) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_toolong ")."\");");
}

then tried this:

Quote:

if (strlen($message)>$postmaxchars and $postmaxchars!=0 and ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=6) and ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=5) and ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]!=7)) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_toolong ")."\");");
}

with no results.

any other ideas?
