Hi to all.
Can some one help me.
I need to limit the characters in the Field Bio, in the Custom Profile Fields.
Because some users make alot of spam there.
Requires a plugin, should be moved to here: http://community.mybb.com/forum-65.html
Admin CP > Configuration > Custom Profile Fields > Bio > Maximum Length.

Then enter a number.

Its fine here, it doesn't need a plugin.

The bio is a custom profile field and as such you can change the length as already stated by faviouz.

Admin CP >> Configuration >> Custom Profile Fields >> Bio Enter the length you want in Maximum Length
I thought the same too G33K but I tested on my forum before I posted, it is not restricting to certain characters. Undecided

I doubt the OP is asking to restrict "certain characters". I assume he is asking to limit the characters (limit the number of characters?) which is totally doable.

Will just have to wait for OP to clarify



Hi to all, when I say limit, its the limit of characters.
Because, I have some problems with Bots every day, and they have more then 500 character on bio.
*******

BTW, I try what the Faviouz say, but doesn't work. the field let put more then 500 characters.
Is the bio field set as a textbox or as a textarea?

Although the description says that it applies to textarea and textbox, maxlength only applies to textbox.

EDIT: Filed it as a bug: http://dev.mybb.com/issues/1525

That's why I said its not working.
seems I must wait for a solution?
