in the CRED module (editor JS) I have this code to limit the number of characters,
works with all fields except the multi-line field "racconta". Because ?

<code
// limita lunghezza caratteri

jQuery(document).ready(function () {
------> jQuery("input[name='wpcf-racconta']").attr("maxlength", 400); <--------------
jQuery("input[name='post_title']").attr("maxlength", 30);
jQuery("input[name='wpcf-dedica']").attr("maxlength", 30);
jQuery("input[name='wpcf-dedica-seconda']").attr("maxlength", 30);
jQuery("input[name='wpcf-data-decesso']").attr("maxlength", 20);
});

[/php]

Because that is a complex field, not a single simple text line.

I assume the code also does not work on WYSIWYG Fields?

Those fields cannot be validated like this, but we have feature requests in place to allow at least a new filed type or method to count/limit amount of characters.

I added your voice to that request.

infatti è un campo multi linea .
la richiesta che tu parli, pensi sia risolta a breve ? se sì, come faccio a saperlo ?

grazie per l'aiuto che mi stai dando,

ho inserito il codice

add_shortcode('trim', 'trim_shortcode');
function trim_shortcode($atts, $content = '') {
  $content = MIO_NOME_ FIELD ($content);
  $length = (int)$atts['length'];
  if (strlen($content) > $length) {
    $content = substr($content, 0, $length) . '…';
  }
  return $content;
}

poi lo richiamo così

[trim length="50"][cred_field field='racconta' post='creatura' value='' urlparam='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap'][/trim]

non succede nulla

Hello,

You can limit the number of characters in multiline field by using following jQuery code:

$(document).ready(function () {
	$('.multiline-field').keypress(function (e) {
		maxChars = 10;
		if ($('.multiline-field').val().length >= maxChars) {
			e.preventDefault();
		}
	});
});

I have set limit to 10 characters, You can change that number according to your need.
You can add above js code in Js editor and update ‘.multiline-field’ to your multiline field selector.

Thank you

it does not work, it does not limit me anything

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('NAME-FIELD').keypress(function (e) {
        maxChars = 10;
        if ($('NAME-FIELD').val().length >= maxChars) {
            e.preventDefault();
        }
    });
});

Hello,

For further debug, provide temporary access WP-Admin Login and FTP login info to your site. Your next answer will be private which means only you and I have access to it.

=== Please backup your database and website ===

✙ I would additionally need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important.

✙ Please provide backend-end and front-end link where we can see the issue.

Thank you

		maxChars = 10;
		if ($('.multiline-field').val().length >= maxChars) {
			e.preventDefault();
		}
	});
});
