Vanilla 2 Post Character Limit?

edited December 2009 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8
I see there's a post character count limit, is there anyway to change this setting? The default character count limit is rather annoyingly short on a discussion forum.

    Go to /conf/config.php and add this line:
    $Configuration['Vanilla']['Comment']['MaxLength'] = '2000';with whatever you want the new character limit to be.
  • @Lincoln Thanks, brilliant.
  • Lincoln, I just added that line to the config file and am still getting the character limit for the body post. http://screencast.com/t/EzOm9QSXr.

    perhaps you didn't set config statement correctly in config.php

    if you just added the above statement you reduced it to 2000.

    try changing comment length in dashboard in your forum -> floodcontrol

    /index.php?p=/vanilla/settings/floodcontrol

    if there is no line in $Configuration['Vanilla']['Comment']['MaxLength']
    8000 is the default number of characters.

    16000 is 16000 characters. = put the number of characters you want.

    $Configuration['Vanilla']['Comment']['MaxLength'] = '16000';

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
