Minimum Comment Character Count

[Man1c M0g]

I notice that Photopost only lets you place a comment if you have 5 characters or more in the content of the post. Is there any setting or way to increase this figure? I'm trying to find a way to stop people posting 'Cool.' and it counting as a comment.

Are you integrating with Vbulletin cause you can set this in VB Admin Area

Yes - I have it integrated with vbulletin v3.5.0. My setting for 'Minimum Characters Per Post' in the admincp is 25... but this does not seem to carry over to Photopost. Am I missing something else?

I will have to do some tests thanks

try this in comments.tmpl in your vb3enhanced folder

var minchars = $vboptions[postminchars];

change to this

var minchars = 10;

Its still not working i'm afraid. Its still stuck on 5 characters. :/

Okay well I will do some more digging here. I am by no means a VB expert but there is no post restriction that I am aware of other than the vb minimum character count

I have no limit on the number of words other than 1 in my photopost. I will do some more digging

Any progress on this issue?

Nothing other than what I have posted above. The minimum chars is what controls this from what I see

I solved it! In quickcom.tmpl (and comments.tmpl) there is this code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

This prepare_submit bit is the thing that hard-codes it to 5 character minimum, and *NOT* the minchars variable. So, I simply changed the code to this, and it worked:

Content visible to verified customers only.

weird thats bizarre to not follow the minimum character thing
