lowering custom title character limit?

[dark_night]

how can i change the max characters for a users custom title? currently its 50 but want to decrease it, cant seem to find any solution online

is it as simple as changing:

maxlength="{{ max_length($xf.visitor, 'custom_title') }}"

to

maxlength="25"

or will there need to be further modification/better way to handle this?

thanks a lot

you can try modifying the value of the maxlength attribute of the HTML input element that is used to input the custom user title. In the example you provided, you can simply change the value of maxlength from {{ max_length($xf.visitor, 'custom_title') }} to 25.

That being said, it's important to note that simply modifying the maxlength attribute in the HTML code may not be sufficient to fully change the maximum length of the custom user title. This is because the maximum length of the custom user title may also be enforced on the server side by the forum software itself. In order to fully change the maximum length of the custom user title, you will likely need to modify the relevant server-side code as well.

Without more information about your specific setup and how your forum is configured, it's difficult to provide more specific instructions on how to change the maximum length of the custom user title.
