Is there a way to limit the number of characters that can be entered into a textarea? I’m sure I could limit how many are displayed, but I’d rather limit it at the input since I’ll be using Community Events.
That is definitely possible using JavaScript. Here’s is a stackoverflow response elaborating a bit. You could implement this on the community edit.php page using a theme override. Our Themer’s Guide walks you through that in more detail. Does this sound like a good solution?
