Support Forum

Every time that you post a problem, PLEASE add the Joomla and the extension's versions and revisions (for example: Joomla 3.3.6, Contact Enhanced 3.3.5), PHP version and Server's Operating System. If you only manage only one site it is easier if you edit your profile and just add that information to your signature. Don't forget to add a detailed description of the problem. If possible, write down all steps to simulate the problem.

Before submitting a new post, PLEASE make sure you are running the latest version, test in different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome,..) and clear Joomla and browser's cache after every change you make.

Also, most questions are already answered in our FAQ and in iFAQ and Contact Enhanced documentation pages.

Hello,

is it possible to put a maximum number of characters to the message field? Is there any?

Thanks!

Dear Roger,

There is no such feature out of the box, however you can easily add the code bellow to the attribute field located at your Multitext Custom Field.
onkeyup="if(this.value.length > 50){
alert('You have reached your maximum limit of characters allowed');
this.value = this.value.substring(0, 50);}"
you just have to change the number 50 for the maximum number of characters that you want to allow.

Regards,

Hello Douglas,

thank you for your quick support!

Sorry I don´t fully understand your response, where do i have to insert that code? I would like to limit the number of characters in the default "messsage" field.

Regards,
Roger.

Dear Roger,

I'm sorry if it was a bit unclear.

Please follow these steps:
1. Select Components → Contact Enhanced → Custom Fields from the drop-down menu on the back-end of your Joomla! installation;
2. Click on the "Message" field;
3. Insert the code in the previous post in the "Attibutes" field;
4. Save the custom field;

I hope that's clearer, however if you still cannot understand, please let me know.

Regards,

Hello Douglas!

That is much clear (thanks!) but I´m afraid I have no "Contact Enhanced" option under the "Components" menu in the Joomla Backend. I´m on Joomla 1.5.14, by the way.

I guess I´m missing something... :unsure:

Thanks!
