That fatal error is because you can't declare a function more than one time. The function needs to be renamed: <pre><code>[php] function title_length</code></pre> When you copy the function code, rename the function. You're using this a lot, so you are going to have to rename it multiple times: <pre><code>tags_length email_length companies_length contact_name_length web_address_length</code></pre> You need to change the function line, and also in the add_filter line where the function is called. HOWEVER, this is a hugely inefficient way to do things. Use the same function (title_length), but maybe rename it to something like "input_length_limiter", then in the function, process all the fields, and return the form one time. It will be easier for maintenance going forward and will run substantially faster. David Peralty on "tags field character limiter," https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tags-field-character-limiter#post-67684 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:06:12 +0000 David Peralty 67684@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ What it is telling you is that you already have a function called title_length, and can't "change" it. You can either add code to your original function to detect other fields, so doing some more if statements to test for various fields or rename the function so you don't have two attempts to run the same function to do different things. scott@adszoom.com on "tags field character limiter," https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tags-field-character-limiter#post-67660 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 23:32:32 +0000 scott@adszoom.com 67660@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ the page if you refreshed had an error on the 1st line of the duplicated script Fatal error: Cannot redeclare title_length() (previously declared in /home/adszoom/public_html/wp-content/themes/adszoom/functions.php:68) in /home/adszoom/public_html/wp-content/themes/adszoom/functions.php on line 124 <pre><code><?php add_filter('gform_validation_2', 'title_length'); function title_length($validation_result){ $form = $validation_result["form"]; //supposing we don't want input_1 to be longer than 100 characters. if(strlen($_POST['input_8']) > 100){ // set the form validation to false $validation_result["is_valid"] = false; //finding Field with ID of 1 and marking it as failed validation foreach($form["fields"] as &$field){ //NOTE: replace 1 with the field you would like to validate if($field["id"] == "8"){ $field["failed_validation"] = true; $field["validation_message"] = "test for tages "; break; } } } //Assign modified $form object back to the validation result $validation_result["form"] = $form; return $validation_result; } ?></code></pre> scott@adszoom.com on "tags field character limiter," https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tags-field-character-limiter#post-67657 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 23:27:30 +0000 scott@adszoom.com 67657@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hi Sorry Chris ya the hole site went down no syntax errors Chris Hajer on "tags field character limiter," https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tags-field-character-limiter#post-67625 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 20:16:43 +0000 Chris Hajer 67625@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <blockquote> I have tried to copy and past the code in the functions. php under the current snip above replacing the title fields,,, no good. </blockquote> What do you mean, "no good"?

If i can do the same we are good to go. This then will reflect what we need it to, on the preview instead of hiding the extra.. but grate idea. by the way i have bin going round and round on this other issue that you looked at,, any ideas ? <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/changing-the-background-color-of-a-post" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/changing-the-background-color-of-a-post</a> Chris Hajer on "tags field character limiter," https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tags-field-character-limiter#post-67610 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 19:16:19 +0000 Chris Hajer 67610@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I'm not sure I understand the question. You would like to apply this same functionality (100 characters max) to those other fields you listed, in addition to the post title, and you would like help with doing that? Instead of that, how about hiding the overflow for those various fields, in the post, with: <pre><code>[css] overflow: hidden;</code></pre> After setting a width on the element? It would not return an error but it would prevent the corruption of your site's layout. Please clarify what you would like help with and what you have tried so far.
