    Hi, just got Buddypress User Contact Form – works perfect, except only 1 question: is there a way to set character limits? Like 1,000 characters?

    Thank you!

    Hi JJ,
    Thank you for using the plugin.

    It’s a great suggestion. Please allow me 2 working days to think a bit more about extending it(we can do it currently via code, I am going to explore a flexible option).

    I will be writing back on Monday with a solution.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi JJ,
    Thank you for the patience.

    Please upgrade to the latest version. Currently, I have left it to be done via code. Adding a UI option will need more thought(min/max and other conditions for each field).

    Please put the following code in bp-custom.php and it will restrict 1000 characters.

    
add_filter( 'bpucf_form_validation_errors', function ( $errors ) {

	$message = isset( $_POST['message'] ) ? trim( wp_unslash( $_POST['message'] ) ) : '';

	// let us put our conditions here.
	// is the length is greater than 1000, add error.
	if ( strlen( $message ) > 1000 ) {
		$errors->add( 'message', __( 'Message should have 1000 or less characters.' ) );
	}

	return $errors;
} );

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Thank you for the updated plugin, and bp-custom.php code. I ran a bunch of tests – everything working as designed 🙂

    Thank you!
