Posting more than 140 chars works
Reported by Johannes Schirge | May 12th, 2009 @ 12:56 PM | in 0.6
You are able to post more than 140 chars in one message. This will be incompatible with other services like twitter if you forward your messages.

If this error does not occur in prologue-theme, it is a P2 theme issue. ;)

I tested posting more than 140 chars on openmicroblogger.org with prologue-theme and its possible to post more thank 140 chars there, too. In both themes 'maxlength' is used in 'textarea'-field.

I guess maxlength only works for <input and not <textarea? I didn't look at the link you sent me yet

I can create a server-side validate function, a function called validate_tablename_fieldname can test the posted data
for example in identities.php there is validate_identities_photo and validate_identities_url

Yes, a server-side validate function sounds good. That should fix this problem. Maybe it is possible to add a java-script based add on which disables the send-button if there are more than 140chars.
Interesting: If you disable java-script on twitter you are able to post more than 140 chars but on mainpage the posts are cuttet at 140 and by clicking on the post you can read the full message.

identi.ca/evan mentioned once that the omb protocol supported unlimited size messages, maybe omb could have an admin feature to choose the maximum tweet size from 1 up to unlimited, and the javascript counter maximum would show accordingly

Yes, but keeping Twitter-compatibility is also an important fact. But the option to let the admin choose is good.
