Hi,Which file &  code do I have to edit to prevent the minimum length of 5 characters for a help topic please?krwouter

Sorry i dont know what.  I imagine that its once of the pieces of java though.

@[deleted] hello, ok you mean you cannot change it (easily)?kr,wouter

I'm saying I do not know how to change that, and that you should look at the java code for the site to try to identify where.

Hi,I've found 2 php files which may contain the contraint, but I'm not able to find them./upload/include/staff/helptopic.inc.php/upload/include/class.topic.phpCould someone help please? 

@[deleted]In order to change this setting you must edit the `include/class.topic.php` file. In this file search for "Topic is too short." and you will find these two lines:

388         elseif (strlen($vars)<5)

399             $errors=__('Topic is too short. Five characters minimum');

Change these two lines to accomplish what you're looking for. For example, if you want it to be 3 character minimum then change the lines to:388         elseif (strlen($vars)<3)

399             $errors=__('Topic is too short. Three characters minimum');

I hope this helps! Cheers.
