Increasing admin characters in message body

[KirkhamsEbooks]

The heading asks it all. Is there a way in 2.o irc to increase the number of characters allowd in the message body for the admin only?

Sources/Post.php

Koodi (find) [Valitse] Laajenna


elseif (!empty($modSettings['max_messageLength']) && $smcFunc['strlen']($_POST['message']) > $modSettings['max_messageLength'])
$post_errors[] = 'long_message';


Koodi (replace with) [Valitse] Laajenna


elseif (!empty($modSettings['max_messageLength']) && $smcFunc['strlen']($_POST['message']) > $modSettings['max_messageLength'] && !$context['user']['is_admin'])
$post_errors[] = 'long_message';


After that there will be no character limitations for the admins

Thanks

This will be my first attempt at real php modification

I'd better back up that file

Something else needs to be done Here's the code as it stands

The message exceeds the maximum allowed length (20000 characters).

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna


}
elseif (!empty($modSettings['max_messageLength']) && $smcFunc['strlen']($_POST['message']) > $modSettings['max_messageLength'] && !$context['user']['is_admin'])
{
$post_errors[] = 'long_message';
unset($_POST['message']);
}
else
{
// Aeva - START
// On Quick Edit - Only call if message is set.
if (!empty($_POST['message']))
{
global $sourcedir;
@include_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Aeva.php');
if (function_exists('aeva_onposting'))
$_POST['message'] = aeva_onposting($_POST['message']);
}

The code,which i gave above,should work and it's working,i've recently tested that again and there is no problem for the admins

I don't suppose multiple forums could make a difference as long as they're all using different folders and databases

FOUND IT!

There's two instances of the code that need to be changed not just one.

Thanks, my first successful php edit thanks to you guys (gals included of course)
