hi, is it possible to limit the characters name lets say 40 letters?

thanks!

Hi,

Yes it possible, you can change the limit from Jomsocial configuration->Site->Character Limit

I hope it helps

but that one will be for a post in the wall

the one I want to limit is the name at the top right before the user picture

thanks!

ops sorry, Please provide me the screenshoot which one do you mean? do you wanna limit from the input name or only on the display?

here is the pic... I want to limit the name up to 40 letters thanks! :)

Hi Gustavo,

You should edit the edit profile page components/com_community/templates/default/profile.edit.php, find this code :

<input class="input text" type="text" id="name" name="name" size="40" value="<?php echo $this->escape($user->get('name'));?>" />

<input class="input text" type="text" id="name" name="name" size="40" value="<?php echo $this->escape($user->get('name'));?>" maxlength="40" />

hi, it did not work... I put it at 25... im talking about the toolbar

here is the pic

My code above only for the chars when you edit profile, so if user want to edit the profile, they cant add the name more than 40 chars..

another solution, please you open this file modules/mod_community_toolbar/tmpl/default.php, find this code :

<h3><?php echo $my->getDisplayName(); ?></h3>

<h3><?php echo substr ($my->getDisplayName(),40); ?></h3>
