Hello, We recently updated our environment to 5.0 and in doing so, some of our applications are outdated.

One of these applications is supposed to make sure that when you add your signature to your profile you have a limit of “x” number of characters.

I am really interested in learning to add this myself. For this I had first created a “Member Listener” containing the function onProfileUpdate(). But this function is only executed after updating, while I would like to show a notification before updating and that update is also not executed. I have read a lot of the forum posts and the forum post "Introduction to Listeners" but I can't seem to get a good hang of it.

Should I add another listener for this or is there another function I can use? Sorry if this is an obvious question, this is new territory for me :).

Below is my code:

Ive moved this to our developer connection forum for you :)

There is no way to check the signature's length before it's saved. I have a similar custom application on v4 that checks for a different limit, but I've been unable to update it to v5 for now.

Hopefully, IPS will add a listener or an extension for it in a future version. I've already requested it.

There’s room for the Form extension.
