Topic: Increase characters of post

This is very easy
just go to your sharetronix folder then system/controllers/admin_general.php
edit file " admin_general.php " on the line 47
Before editing code on line 47

$D->menu_postlength    = array(140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200);

After Editing code

$D->menu_postlength    = array(140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 300, 400);

just replace the code or edit your desired figure of characters like 200, 300, 400 etc in the code
Now save this file.
After Saving file go to your site and login as administration
now go to your administration panel then general setting and change the post max length.
After this save your changing. Now You have done your job.

Re: Increase characters of post

i tried this and it works, i can type more characters, but after 200 characters when inputting text it goes below the box so you cant see what youre typing. is there a way to fix this so the box extends as you type, or add a scrollbar to the side?

thanks,
David

Re: Increase characters of post

This works fine with IE, however as previous poster mentioned Firefox doesnt scroll and therefore you cant see what you are typing after around 200 chars.

Where in the css file can I change the height of the post box to ensure that text can be visible at all times when posting?

Thanks

Juz

Re: Increase characters of post

Okay found a cure for Firefox and IE just change the overflow:visible; in the #postform textarea  within inside.css ;  can also expand height by 10px wihtout post button diisappearing into the header, but I have left at 36px for now.
