Hello buddydev

When a user makes a group or modifies the description
they can type an unlimited number of characters.

This BP core file

The bp_create_excerpt () (in bp-core-template.php, line 365)
sets the length of the description to 225 characters

This only limits the group excerpt description length on the
Groups directory page. Not the actual content amount .

I copy and pasted 200 thousand characters into the group
description edit box. All 200 thousand were saved and pushed
into the database.

Tryed these codes in theme functions and bp-custom
They only work on the excerpt.

—————

function bbg_custom_group_description_excerpt( $excerpt, $group ) {
$excerpt = bp_create_excerpt( $group->description, 270 );
return $excerpt;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_group_description_excerpt’, ‘bbg_custom_group_description_excerpt’, 70, 2 );

—————

and this below

—————

add_action( ‘groups_group_details_edited’, ‘yzc_group_limit_description’ );
add_action( ‘groups_created_group’, ‘yzc_group_limit_description’ );

function yzc_group_limit_description( $group_id ) {

if ( isset( $_POST[‘group-desc’] ) && ! empty( $_POST[‘group-desc’] ) ) {
$limit_length = 270;
if ( strlen( $_POST[‘group-desc’] ) > $limit_length ) {
bp_core_add_message( sprintf( __( ‘Sorry, You cannot add more than %d character in group description.’, $limit_length ),

‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’ );
}
}

}

Do you have some code that would work?
that would be extra great !

Thank you
