    Hi All

    Just wondering if it is possible to limit users on what they can enter for a nodename?

    I have a few users that are writing a short story every time they create a new node and would particularly like to restrict the characters length.

    Cheers

    Evan

    Hi Evan,

    Don't think there's currently a limitation on number of chars, but you may find the dialog for creating a new node and add some jquery to it to limit the number of chars in a textbox, right? You'll find multiple examples on the web.

     

    Cheers,

    /Dirk

    You can also use an action handler (BeforePublishHandler) which checks the char length and on failure it doesn't allow to publish only saving.

    Also check out the Document.BeforeSave event, it doesn't work in the current Umbraco versoin (4.0.2.1) But according to Aaron (Slace) this bug should be fixed in the 4.1 release: http://www.aaron-powell.com/blog/august-2009/umbraco-41-alpha-release.aspx

    Thanks for the help.  I've been out of action for a few days so I'll start trying some of the suggestions today.

    Cheers

    I am still looking at all of these options but I have found a simple solution based on what Dirk said.

    I found the Create dialog for content, /umbraco/create/content.ascx

    Then added an asp:RegularExpressionValidator to it with a RegEx to limit the number of characters.

    Thanks for the Help

    Cheers

    Evan
