\"max_text_len\" related question

[vlzvl]

hello and tx for your work

just a quick question,
I need to have specific rules/permissions by user types in my chat and one of
the restrictions is to -not- allow him to to type more than eg. 5 characters.
I find out that "max_text_len" might do the trick but i found this is "global"
variable so anyone would type <5 characters.

Is there a nice pfc way to sort this or need to do a special session check
(by user type) to change the <input> message bar 'maxlength's value via JS?

thank you.
PS. sorry for my freaky english

Hi,

I think is possible to do it with the parameter $params['dyn_params'],

You need to set $params['max_text_len'] to be dynamic and not be cached anymore for everybody..

I would do something like so:

Code: Select all

$params['dyn_params'] = 'max_text_len';

if($this->user_writeLength <= 5)$params['max_text_len'] = 5;

something along those line, see if that works..

Make sure you rehash the chat..

best regards

dyn_params:
Most of the chat parameters are stored in a internal cache for performances issues. It means that for all the clients the chat will have the same parameters...

dang
i should read more thoroughly the params!
great help as usual, thank you
