Minimum Post Characters in Specific Forum

[SirVault]

How can I change the minimum post characters for one specific forum only?

So say for the entire forum I have a minimum post character of 10. How would I make it a minimum of 3 for one specific forum?

Thanks.

Probably something like...

hook - fetch_foruminfo

PHP Code:

if ($forumid == 'xxx')
{
    $vbulletin->options['postminchars'] = 'yyy';
}

Where's this go?

Make sure you have your Plugin/Products enabled in vB Options.
If you go, in the ACP, go to Products/Plugins and Add New Plugin. Make the name of it whatever you want (i.e. Minimum Chars for Forum ID xxx) and for the hook, set it to fetch_foruminfo in the dropdown box. Leave execution order how it is.
Paste that code Lynne provided into the plugin code.
For example, if you want ForumID 3 to have 5 min chars, the code will be:

PHP Code:

if ($forumid == '3')
{
    $vbulletin->options['postminchars'] = '5';
} 


If you wanna do more than one forum, just keep adding them on.

i.e.

PHP Code:

if ($forumid == '3')
{
    $vbulletin->options['postminchars'] = '5';
}  
if ($forumid == '32')
{
    $vbulletin->options['postminchars'] = '1';
}
