Minimum Characters/Words Per Post

[Aitsukai]

Link to Mod

With this modification, you may set a minimum character/word requirement for each post on your forum. When a user attempts to post, their post length will be checked, and if the post doesn't have enough words, or enough characters, the person will receive an error.

by words, do you mean characters?

I mean both. This mod allows you to set both a minimum word and character requirement.

Hm, guess this is a bug. Did you save your character/word requirement settings?

[kezayah]

Yes, in the panel admin, I have put 0 for caracters and 5 for words !!!
Otherwise, I don't modify your mod, exepted for the french's translation !!!

There is this error when someone post less down 5 words !!!

I tried with those exact same settings and I'm not getting any errors. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be caused by a language file either. What version did you install this on?

[ArkServer]

I cant find the option in the admin panel?

[Aitsukai]

It's under 'Posts and Topics'.

I have this problem since I downloaded your mod ...
Try to write a post with 2 words and you'll see a error in your log ... normally ...
My version SMF RC 1.2

Hi there,
Thanks for mod, works great.
I've always had a problem however.
Even if I set the minimum words per post to 0 it will still show 5 although it will not need minimum of 5 words typed.

It not really a big deal as it does not affect the posting of posts but in the admin posts and topics you see '5' where you know it should read '0'
Any ideas?

[azuregenesis]

^^ easily fixed. i'm assuming you already installed this mod. now,

go to Admin.template.php (inside your theme folder)

and search for this:

Code Select Expand

<td valign="top">
<input type="text" name="minWordLen" id="minWordLen_input" value="', empty($modSettings['minWordLen']) ? '5' : $modSettings['minWordLen'], '" size="5" /> ', $txt['minWordLen_words'], '
</td>

replace with this:

Code Select Expand

<td valign="top">
<input type="text" name="minWordLen" id="minWordLen_input" value="', empty($modSettings['minWordLen']) ? '0' : $modSettings['minWordLen'], '" size="5" /> ', $txt['minWordLen_words'], '
</td>

done.

sorry, but i also can't find it there,....

Here's what it looks like: IMAGE.

It'd be useful to me if you can apply it to certain boards instead of all of them. Is there a way to do this?

[mfKG]

Thx for u'r Answer, and the pic (i know where i need 2 seach for it, but there must be another Problem)

So it look like by me ;(

but it's not there 

(i'm using SMF 1.1 RC2)

[PrizeLive.com]

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!

Hi guys,

This mod works great for me.. the only question i have relates to if a board member quotes another member... let's say if i quote your post and in your post, you typed 5 words, i only need to post 1 word to send the message through... so basically, the quoted part is included in the total amount of words allowed, correct?  That to me isn't solving the problem.. I'm still having tons of members quoting each others posts and typing in 1 word responses.. i was wondering if there was a way to set it so the system does not count whatever is in quotes as part of the "5 word requirement"..

Does anyone know of a way to fix this?

Thanks
