(NE) Content limits for editor

[Nathan Explosion]

I have just spent the last 30 minutes testing this application's ACP side of things out and I see NO issues.

Here are the settings when "Apply to all groups" is enabled - working as intended, all the settings on that tab will be applied to all groups:

Here are the settings when 'Apply to all groups' is disabled, and you have chosen some groups in the 'Which group?' field. Each chosen group will have their own tab, with their own specific setttings:

If you are still having an actual issue, then please provide exact detail that provides more information than:

Does this have the option to only restrict on reviews? For example restrict character count in the Downloads reviews?

[Nathan Explosion]

Potentially, yes - any editor instance anywhere can be targeted.

Unfortunately, however, I don't use Downloads - if you have a test site I can access to check a few things over, and provide ACP access to, then I can attempt to code it in to try it out (I will do the installation)

I'm currently working on an update to this which, alongside some fixes I am putting in, will add the following functionality:

1. Limitations on the number of videos has been explanded to allow limits on:
   • total number of videos (now a check of the content in the editor as well as any videos which have been uploaded but not yet added to the content in the editor)
   • number of attached video files (checks the uploaded files under the editor)
   • number of remotely linked video files (checks the content in the editor)
2. Limitations on the number of images has been explanded to allow limits on:
   • total number of images (now a check of the content in the editor as well as any images which have been uploaded but not yet added to the content in the editor)
   • number of attached images files (checks the uploaded files under the editor)
   • number of remotely linked image files (checks the content in the editor)
3. Limitations can now be placed on the number of attached audio files (checks the uploaded files under the editor)
4. Limitations can now be placed on the number of other attachments (checks the uploaded files under the editor)

Now is the time to chime in if you have any other ideas for new features for this application.

It appears based on my testing this does not work with guests, only registered accounts. Are you able to specifically confirm that this is the case?

[Nathan Explosion]

Provide screenshots of the settings you have in place, please.

And expand more on:

What exactly is not working? Is the notice below the editor not appearing? Or it appears, but the limits aren't being applied? More information would be useful, if your settings are not being applied.

Nope, not seeing any "Guest" specifc issues in my testing - so anything extra you can provide will assist here.

Some different issues do exist which will be fixed in next version:

• "Total attached audio files allowed" setting on 'General settings' tab doesn't hide when "Apply to all groups" setting is toggled off.
• "Total attached audio files allowed" setting on group specific tabs doesn't reflect the correct saved value for the setting.
• "Total other attachments allowed" setting on 'General settings' tab doesn't hide when "Apply to all groups" setting is toggled off.
• "Total other attachments allowed" setting doesn't display on group specific tabs when "Apply to all groups" setting is toggled off.
• _desc language strings for "Total videos allowed" & "Total images allowed" are not visible on group specific tabs when "Apply to all groups" setting is toggled off.

Thanks! Since you indicate that it should work with Guests I will take a deeper dive to see what it could be about my configuration. I certainly haven't had a chance to try a more baseline testing configuration as of yet.

[Nathan Explosion]

I would prefer if you provided your current settings so I could test it myself, and then if there is an issue then I can resolve it while resolving the above issues I have spotted already.

I will be releasing an update on Wednesday, to fix the above issues.

[Nathan Explosion]

v2.1.1 was released the other day:

• FIXES
  • issue where "Total attached audio files allowed" setting on 'General settings' tab wasn't hidden when "Apply to all groups" setting was toggled off.

  • issue where "Total other attachments allowed" setting on 'General settings' tab wasn't hidden when "Apply to all groups" setting was toggled off.
  • issue where "Total other attachments allowed" setting wasn't displayed on group specific tabs when "Apply to all groups" setting was toggled off.
  • issue where _desc language strings for "Total videos allowed" & "Total images allowed" were not visible on group specific tabs when "Apply to all groups" setting was toggled off.

v2.1.2 is currently pending approval

@Nathan Explosion Is it possible to add different limitations per posts & per first posts (topics) content?

[Nathan Explosion]

Could you elaborate on that, please?

Do you mean additional limits other than the ones already there?

Adding different limits for new topics and different limits for new posts.

For example when creating a new support topic, we want to add a 15 minimum word count so people hopefully add additional information so that we could better assist.

[Nathan Explosion]

OK, gotcha - at present, you can apply a set of limits to either the first post in a topic, to replies to a topic, or to both - but it's the same set of limitations.

Those limitations are applied at the group level - example:

1. Set your 'Members' group to have limitations that are forced when they post either a topic, a reply or both.
2. Set your own group to not have any limitations forced.

Sounds good!

I would like to see the option to apply limitations to new topics and new posts to the same group.

Thank you for the awesome work.

Hello Nathan,

I'm interested in this plugin, I have two questions.

1. Does it work for reviews?
2. Is this alert bar visible all the time? If yes, would you be able to make the alert appear only if the user tried to send the message and didn't meet the criteria? It looks a little visually weird to me.

Reviews where?

Probably achievable, yes.

I don't know if you understand what I'm referring to 😅

[Nathan Explosion]

So '...in Pages databases", correct? If so, the feature can be added to handle reviews, yes, and will be added next time I work on the application.

Are you sure about that?

Yes

35 minutes ago, Nathan Explosion said:

Yes - it is probably achievable to not have it appear until it needs to appear (ie the user is in breach of the criteria)

35 minutes ago, Nathan Explosion said:

.. only if the user tried to send the message....

Nothing can be submitted until the criteria is met - that won't be changing.

35 minutes ago, Nathan Explosion said:

...and didn't meet the criteria?

.Yes - it is probably achievable to have it appear if they have breached the criteria.

Anything not clear about my response, please ask.

Yes, my focus is only on reviews, because there are users who are making "bad" ratings like for example... "nice", "liked", "very good" I want to force users to make more detailed comments.

Thank you - as mentioned, this feature will be added next time I work on the application (no idea when that will be)

[Nathan Explosion]

And for those who would like the notice to only appear when the user is in breach of the criteria then the following added to your custom.css will take care of that - no new functionality needs to be added:

#neapp_contentlimits_editorcount_display.ipsMessage_warning{
	display:none;
}
