at least {0} characters long.

in the profile block it states:

" at least {0} characters long. "

is the {0} some kind of "magic link" that is making a reference to some other value input location?

thanks

yes, it's either a hard coded value in code or a value stored in the database sys_profile_fields.

which in most cases can be controlled from dolphin admin in  builders - profile fields.

click on the name that is giving you trouble in the builders and you will see the values for that field in there.

To explain it in a different way, the {0} is replaced with the actual number by Dolphin code.

For example, if you have a language key with {0} members have viewed this page; when Dolphin processes the language key, it will replace {0} with the actual number (using code) of members that have viewed the page.

thanks for the replies Lady and Gentleman--

i was just wondering how it was called.  i.e. php or ??  (well of course its php, i think)

i should just look at the code i guess.  

when the  {0} is used within the form it is calling to the variable stored in the

table: sys_profile_fields 

on the Row: 12  DescriptionMe

and the value under the column: Min

I could simply change that value in the table to 200 and then there would be a min 200 characters required in the DescriptionMe field.  I just thought that i must have been missing something as I could not find any "user friendly" location to change that value.

dolphin-jay:

builders - profile fields: is where i found the {0} value.  would changing the value inside of the brackets cause a write to the database table?

kiss

in the words of Gilda Radnor, "never mind"

just found the "advanced" controls in the builders profile fields......
