maxlenght conditional check - marcus123 - 2013-10-02
Please help, How to check if the maxlenght has the correct value before submitting?
I set maxlenght="50" but people will use Firebug to modify that so I want to some how maybe with conditional template check if the input value is not more that 50?

Well, you would have to check it serverside (with PHP, strlen on $mybb->input['xxx'] or whatever) and throw error if it's too long, maxlength isn't even supported in IE < 8.. Can't do it with Template Conditionals, need plugin/core modification. Neither can it be done with XThreads @down.

This is the line I want to restrict to max 50 characters
<input type="text" class="textbox" name="subject" size="40" maxlength="50" value="{$subject}" tabindex="1" />
Can I do it with xthreads?
Can I use something like this for conditional?
if($subject_length > 50)
{
// Subject is too long
$this->set_error('subject_too_long', my_strlen($subject));
return false;
}

The easiest way would be to edit inc/datahandlers/post.php
if($subject_length > 85)
{
// Subject is too long
$this->set_error('subject_too_long', my_strlen($subject));
return false;

Destroy do you know if I can do it with JavaScript form validate? Any good JavaScript code that will work with all the browsers?
