Can this mod be modified to select which boards to apply it to?

I only want select boards on my forum to have a minimum char/word count per post.

I'm using version 1.1 RC2.

Thanks!

How do I make it work when I'm not using the default theme? I tried to make it work by modifying the files manually, but it just does not show up in my Admin panel. I am using the Themis theme by Bloc.

Anyone with any tips??

Doesn't work with the current version of SMF. Could someone link me to something similar to this one that works with SMF 1.0.8 or if possible, can someone modify it to work with with 1.0.8 :'(

I have it installed on 1.1RC3 and despite it showing up everywhere in the Admin -> Posts and Topics and my setting the min words to 5, it still allows a reply of "hi" to be posted. I just tested it on my test forum.

Any clues?

Now that you mentioned it, yes it doesn't work as intended...

I guess we either have to wait for the author or someone takes over this mod ^^

I have installed this SMF 1.1 final successfully.. However, I have received feedback that the mod still flags out min character error if non-english post is made.. Do I need use UTF-8 for this to work with other languages?

It works on SMF 1.1.1

you just have to edit: package-info.xml and change rc3 to 1.1.1

After this step i also changed something in: Admin.spanish.php (copy the lines from the MOD in the Admin.english.php)

to do that find:
$txt['not_done_continue'] = 'Continue';

and add afterwoods:

$txt['core_configuration'] = 'Core Configuration';
$txt['other_configuration'] = 'Feature Configuration';
$txt['caching_settings'] = 'Caching';
$txt['minWordLen'] = 'Minimum words per post';
$txt['minWordLen_zero'] = '0 for no minimum.';
$txt['minWordLen_words'] = 'words';
$txt['minChar'] = 'Minimum characters per post';
$txt['minChar_zero'] = '0 for no minimum.';
$txt['minChar_chars'] = 'characters';


Now the last stap i hace to do and i don't know how...

I want to change the language in the error masage
Errors.english.php ....there i find the error message..
Errors.spanish.php ...here i don't know where to add the error code...

Please can somebody help me?

EDIT: found it...

Find:
$txt['error_long_message'] = 'The message exceeds the maximum allowed length (' . $modSettings['max_messageLength'] . ' characters).';

and add afterwoods:

$txt['error_minWordLen'] = 'The message does not meet the minimum word requirements (' . $modSettings['minWordLen'] . ' words).';
$txt['error_minChar'] = 'The message does not meet the minimum character requirements (' . $modSettings['minChar'] . ' characters).';


Then change the text to your language.

WORKS PERFECT

perplexed

What exactly is counted in the number of 'characters'?

eg if I posted a code for a smiley

:hug 

would that be counted? 

If I formatted my post using

[color=.....    or [font=.....

would that be counted in the number of characters or ignored?

~thanks

NiKoLiN

every letter...space...sign is counted. So for a smiley like yours: :hug
are 4 characters. if you write: hello my friend
are 15 caracters

perplexed

and also the bbc code is counted as characters too?

just want to make sure, lol these members are a crafty bunch lol

NiKoLiN

like i said EVERYTHING counts. every little space you make...bbc normal WHATEVER....all counts
