Subject title, larger

[Panoulis64]

I am looking for a way for the title of the topic to have more text than its default.
Is it possible to do?
And if so, how can I do it?
Thanks for your time.

/Themes/default/Post.template.php

Code (find) Select Expand

// Now show the subject box for this post.
echo '
<dt>
<span', isset($context['post_error']['no_subject']) ? ' class="error"' : '', ' id="caption_subject">', $txt['subject'], ':</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<input type="text" name="subject"', $context['subject'] == '' ? '' : ' value="' . $context['subject'] . '"', ' tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" size="80" maxlength="80" class="input_text" />
The first 80 controls the visual input box size, the second one controls how many characters you can insert, and I assume it's what you want to change

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
I'm glad that this is done through code and not by choice in the management of the forum, because I would be sorry to bother you unfairly

you'll also need to change in sources/post.php

Code Select Expand

// Make sure the subject isn't too long - taking into account special characters.
if ($smcFunc['strlen']($form_subject) > 100)
$form_subject = $smcFunc['substr']($form_subject, 0, 100);
change the 100s to whatever limit you want

may like to read this thread as well, just for some information/warnings

basically don't go crazy...I upped mine to 120, which should be plenty as long as there aren't any special characters in the title.

Thank you again.
I also put it at 120.
