The discussion revolves around disabling the “Body seems unclear, is it a complete sentence?” warning on a Discourse forum. wal initially tried setting body_min_entropy to 0, but this did not work. Architect pointed out that this setting only applies to post bodies, not titles, and that title_min_entropy is a separate setting.
After adjusting both entropy settings to 0, wal still encountered issues with posting topics with empty or very short bodies. Architect explained that this is due to the min_post_length setting, which has a default value of 20 characters. wal had already set this to 1, but the website does not allow setting it to 0.
Architect confirmed that setting min_post_length to 0 is not possible, while pfaffman suggested that a custom plugin could be used to override the range. However, ncaming215 reported continuing to experience the issue despite setting the value to 0 and not using any plugins.
I saw this topic
But it does not work. I have minimum entropy set to 0. Yet still I’m not able to make a topic in my own forum with an empty body, or a body that consists of only “.”
Anyone know how to turn this off so that everyone is free to post as little as they desire in the topic body?
Does not seem to work
body_min_entropy: Value must be between 0 and 2,000,000,000.
Yes I set both entropy settings to 0
That would be prevented by min post length setting which is default of 20 characters.
Thanks, it seems that I have already changed that to 1 for all minimum post length settings. I think the proper value should be 0. However the website says that the lowest value possible is 1. How can I make the minimum post length 0?
That doesn’t seem to be possible.
I think that you an override that range with a custom plugin.
You’ll need to see Developing Discourse Plugins - Part 1 - Create a basic plugin and search for a topic that overrides site setting ranges.
I continue to run into this issue. No plug-ins where this would be an issue. Set to 0. Problem persists.
