Access level limitations

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?

  • 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...
