Additional Profile Options - Posted By dog199200 (dog199200) on 4th Apr 08 at 8:00pm
umm i'm not sure if this is a bug or not but for some reason the Max-Length section doesn't work, the numbers go higher then that.

I'm going to post how i have one of the, setup to see if i'm doing it right.

Name: Level
Default Value: 1
Description: The level of your character.
Increase by: 0.05
Min-Length: 1
Max-Length: 99
Default Value: Increase by with each post.
Editable By: Staff
Numeric: Yes

99 being the highest level i want and the number goes over that.

No no... max-length is the maximum LENGTH of the thing...

So you'd want 2 {Wink}

Then it can't go any longer than 2 characters! {Smile}

...ah ok so i was miss reading, ok ty


Edit: Max-Length is still glitched, the number will go over but it drops to two digits when the mod there profile, but say if it says how it is a person can get enough posts to be lvl 200 but as soon as they edit their profile they will drop to lvl 20..

Dwight, what the problem is, is you're looking for a max number.

Example, less than one hundred.

The field is offering a maximum length.

Example, seven characters.

The difference is in how they're interpreted. The maximum length thinks of things like a word- if it goes over the maximum length, it just cuts the extra characters out. Because fish minus one makes no sense, but fis is practical.

For a maximum value, it would see 99, and if it got more than that, set it at 99. For a maximum length, it's just going to chop off the extra characters.

ya i know i figured all of that out, but what i'm saying now is that the mini-profiles fragment of the section is glitched because it continues to increase despite the set max limit.

It's not glitched, as Arty said:
"The difference is in how they're interpreted. The maximum length thinks of things like a word- if it goes over the maximum length, it just cuts the extra characters out. Because fish minus one makes no sense, but fis is practical."

When it reaches the maximum [2 characters] anything over that it will just remove the last character(s).

So 100 would appear as 10, 200 as 20 etc.
