https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27991 Bug ID: 27991 Summary: Message field for OPAC problem reporting should have a maxlength set Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 20.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: OPAC Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: jrobb@sekls.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Currently when a user is submitting a problem report via the OPAC at opac-reportproblem.pl, they can write as much as they want in the "message" field. When the report is submitted, only the first 255 characters are kept due to the field size of problem_reports.content which can result in a cut off message. It would be good to set a maxlength for the field and also make users aware of the limit. I'm using jQuery to set the maxlength attribute and add a character countdown so users know exactly how much they can type. //Problem Reporting $(document).ready(function() { //Enforce character limit on message field $('#opac-reportproblem #message').attr('maxlength', '255'); //Add character countdown $('#opac-reportproblem #message').after('<span id="charcounter">255</span> characters remaining'); //Update character countdown as data is entered var maxLength = 255; $('#opac-reportproblem #message').keyup(function() { var length = $(this).val().length; var length = maxLength-length; $('#opac-reportproblem #charcounter').text(length); }); }); -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
