I tried to make char limit 150k, but I’m limited to 99k: [image] Our use for this is that we have in-game bad behavior reports posting chat logs from the game. Some games are longer than others. I have no problem eating the space if it starts to get big. For example: [image] We have a spoiler for our logs. We click it and ctrl+f the info we want, all color-coded (the color coding takes up a lot of the +characters with [color][/color] each line. Anyway, the more choices we have the better – I’d love to know how to break this limit in the admin dashboard beyond 99k. Or if that’s not possible, something hacky would work too if there’s a file I can edit.

I just threw together a super quick and dirty plugin for you @dylanh724: https://github.com/jomaxro/discourse-plugin-site-setting-override. This will override the max post length maximum value to be 150,000. Install it like a normal plugin: Install plugins on a self-hosted site

[изображение] codinghorror: I suggest you get users to post enormous logs at a third party service like pastebin. Or clip the logs to just the relevant parts. How come, though, if it seems like simply a number? 80% of most logs are under the amount specified, but 20% are not, causing issues. It’d be way easier to change 1 number than change our entire streamline of post delivery. If we’re happy to take the storage hit, what difference does it make? I’m really enjoying our solution – it fits perfectly with our daily use this way. DigitalOcean now offers those hard drive extensions, making storage extremely affordable. Since Discourse is most advertised to use with DO, this would only make sense if people wouldn’t mind bumping up things like this. Plus, the option to go up without it effecting anyone unless they want it to go up (much like any other option with file size limit) always seems like a positive change. Choices = better

Here’s the magic number. config/site_settings.yml main type: group_list list_type: compact default: "" allow_any: false Not sure why it’s exactly 99k, but you could write a simple plugin that overrides the max value.

[изображение] zogstrip: There might also be a search hit (either slower search or poor results). In our case, only staff can see it, so it wouldn’t effect anyone else. In that case, could simply offer a warning that higher than 100k may cause instability. However, the difference between 100k and 150k (our new max we’d like) I can’t imagine being an incredible amount of difference, esp on the high-end VPS. As long as people are warned (just like most other areas that warn), shouldn’t it be up to the admin? The difference between 100k and 1 mil I can see, but in our example, we just want to raise it to 150k. So is there a file I can edit to achieve this?

[изображение] gerhard: Not sure why it’s exactly 99k, but you could write a simple plugin that overrides the max value. OH! My bad, I missed this post. Thanks~ can I just change this value directly at discourse/discourse/blob/master/config/site_settings.yml#L456-L459 ? Will it break if I update? I probably won’t have enough time to look into plugins until early next year, so just trying to hop on ezstreet for the time being while our reports are broken. There’s a lot of nasty people that we need to banhammer where the reports aren’t going through for long games.

[изображение] dylanh724: can I just change this value directly at discourse/discourse/blob/master/config/site_settings.yml#L456-L459 ? Will it break if I update? I very strongly recommend not modifying the files directly. It will either break updates, or more likely revert to the default every time you update. A plugin to override a site setting should be a single file, nearly as easy as modifying the file.

[изображение] jomaxro: A plugin to override a site setting should be a single file, nearly as easy as modifying the file. [image] I think I’m just going to change the file and not update for a few versions. This is pretty much the opposite of “nearly as easy as modifying the file” O_O

[изображение] dylanh724: not update for a few versions If you choose to do that (and I still don’t recommend it) - please keep an eye on the Commit log for security related commits. They’ll start with SECURITY: - you don’t want to skip installing those.

Oh, wow! I didn’t expect that. Thank you so much!!

[изображение] dylanh724: Oh, wow! I didn’t expect that. Thank you so much!! You’re quite welcome. It’s a good example plugin to have - I will do a write up in #plugin eventually.
