Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted September 11, 20177 yr Does anyone know if this is a system bug or if there's a fix but I ran into a curious problem when I was trying to conduct a simple search from within the ACP. I was trying to find the setting for "Member Titles" because I wanted to modify the length of the member title. But, after searching for "title", the search options lists "[System] Member Title". However, clicking on that directs me to the "members" listing within ACP and not to the setting. Has this glitch been reported or is there a fix for it? I just haven't been able to find the option to edit "Member Titles" and I think the ACP option to edit it has been removed, allowing users to enter unlimited characters in their custom user titles.
September 11, 20177 yr There's no setting for member title length, IIRC. It's a fixed value. You can only change the number of content items to change the title. Anyway, it is on Ranks. Probably going to Members because it is the default controller of that module. But yes, sounds like a bug.
September 11, 20177 yr Author Ouch. Wonder how that one slipped by? Is it possible to limit the character length for member titles? Even possibly through the forum templates?
September 11, 20177 yr I'm on a mobile device now, can't take a look at the script to tell you for sure. I'll reply tomorrow in the morning, if no one does it first.
September 11, 20177 yr Author @Adriano Faria, appreciate it. Would be extremely helpful. I used a free plugin that was offered in the marketplace and when someone creates an excessively long member title, the long member title plays havok with the plugin.
September 11, 20177 yr Not a bug. On the top of the listing you'll see this message. Quote The search result is a per-members setting.

I used a free plugin that was offered in the marketplace and when someone creates an excessively long member title, the long member title plays havok with the plugin. Member Title is a column on core_members table and it has 64 chars length. To change, you need to edit a php file: applications\core\extensions\core\MemberForm\Profile.php. Find: $form->add( new \IPS\Helpers\Form\Text( 'member_title', $member->member_title, FALSE, array( 'maxLength' => 64 ) ) ); Change the 64 to whatever you want. Tried a quick plugin but no luck.
September 11, 20177 yr Author @Adriano Faria, thanks for that hint. I just didn't want to have an unlimited character limit for customized member titles.
