  • \forum\conf\config.php

    $Configuration['Vanilla']['Comment']['MaxLength'] = '8000';

  • hi,

    i only have config-defaults.php but not config.php
    also, inside there is no

    $Configuration['Vanilla']['Comment']['MaxLength'] = '8000';

    do i have to put that code, or edit it somewhere?

    if you do not have config.php - you have set up your installation entirely the wrong way and you should read the documentation, as well as the installation notes.

  • i followed this http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/19915/deploying-a-new-forum-and-adding-a-theme-for-everyone/p1

    the thing is, ive already set up my forum and is live, is there a way to fix this without causing any downtime or reinstall?

  • I would under that circumstance, copy config-defaults.php and rename it as config.php

    grep is your friend.

  • if i do what you say, do i just put the code

    $Configuration['Vanilla']['Comment']['MaxLength'] = '8000';

    since, that code wasn't present in the config-defaults.php, if so, where exactly?

  • just put it in config.php, it will be resorted anyway.

    grep is your friend.

  • It works perfect @johansonlocker. Thanks alot
