Hey Jim,

Yes it’s in there..

Allow for the admin to set the maximum length of a topic title – $maxTitleLength – with max size of 200 added to the $addTopicForm array at the top of spForumView templates.

For reference

Ahh… sorry, I was expecting an SP Admin Option. Guess I need to edit another template for my child theme. Thanks for the pointer @ike – I’ll report back here if I have any trouble implementing this.

Worked like a charm!

Thanks again.

you are welcome!

Ike, this would have to be in the child theme correct?

To save losing it in future then yes – the child theme. Copy the appropriate template into the same position in the child theme and it will be used in place of the parent version.

Only if you have a modified copy of spForumView*.php in you Child Theme templates folder(s).

*Desktop and/or Mobile

This works for us (to limit count to 100 char.), when added to the array:

$addTopicForm = array(
‘tagClass’                =>   ‘spForm’,
‘maxTitleLength’      =>   100,
etc…

@Ike Please correct me if I’m wrong. And FYI: That For Reference link throws a 404…
For reference

Thanks jim, that’s spot on

I think that link existed before we merged the Codex with the site.. Although possibly not. Either way it was a reference to theme template changes for 5.5.6 so outdated.. It’s all on this page now.
