When I select the access level sometimes groups have been created with a very long name. This makes the dropdown menu go outside the limits of certain container. I would like to limit the access levels to only the basic: private, public, logged in users and friends. I found a tag link to it but nothing else on the community. Has somebody else does this already?

You must log in to post replies.No but I'd definitely like to know how to limit the number of characters shown in the access dropdown box (or alternatively limit the number of characters allowed in group names.)
I believe both can be done - if someone buys me a coffee ;-) LOLZ
Group Names ->
Limit the length of the input (simple code)
Apply "stop-words" to compress the name -- stop-words are e.g. 'the', 'a', 'at' , 'of' and that unnecessary verbosity that people like to type. So "The Elgg Coding Idiots Help Center" ==> "Coding Idiots Help Center" ;-) I have code (from my KWIC parser) to do this - in PHP which could be adapted to JS and triggered via jQuery on the form input.

I think I've looked into this briefly for some other purpose...
