In veronika theme when you put the title of the publication, there was a counter of the characters that you had left.

In alpha theme when you exceed 40 characters, it lets you keep writing but gives an error in the publication because it has exceeded 40 characters.

You have to put a limit or a counter in the title, as in the other themes. This is basic, because people can not be in contact with the characters that are left to put in the title ...

We does not have to, but we will look if there is simple solution or not.

solved: insert this code into the itempost script...


      // TITLE REMAINING CHARACTERS
      var title_max = <?php echo osc_max_characters_per_title(); ?>;
      var check_inputs = $('.add_item .title input');

      check_inputs.attr('maxlength', title_max);
      check_inputs.after('<div class="title-max-char max-char"></div>');
      $('.title-max-char').html('&nbsp;»&nbsp;máximo:&nbsp;' + title_max + ' ' + '<?php echo osc_esc_js(__('caracteres...', 'veronika')); ?>');

      $('ul.tabbernav li a').live('click', function(){
        var title_length = 0;

        check_inputs.each(function(){
          if( $(this).val().length > title_length ) {
            title_length = $(this).val().length;
          }
        });

        var title_remaining = title_max - title_length;

        $('.title-max-char').html('&nbsp;»&nbsp;máximo:&nbsp;' + title_remaining + ' ' + '<?php echo osc_esc_js(__('caracteres...', 'veronika')); ?>');

        $('.title-max-char').removeClass('orange').removeClass('red');
        if(title_remaining/title_length <= 0.2 && title_remaining/title_length > 0.1) {
          $('.title-max-char').addClass('orange');
        } else if (title_remaining/title_length <= 0.1) {
          $('.title-max-char').addClass('red');
        }
      });

      check_inputs.keyup(function() {
        var title_length = $(this).val().length;
        var title_remaining = title_max - title_length;

        $('.title-max-char').html('<?php echo osc_esc_js(__('&nbsp;...quedan&nbsp;', 'alpha')); ?>' + title_remaining + ' ' + '<?php echo osc_esc_js(__('&nbsp;', 'alpha')); ?>');

        $('.title-max-char').removeClass('orange').removeClass('red');
        if(title_remaining/title_length <= 0.2 && title_remaining/title_length > 0.1) {
          $('.title-max-char').addClass('orange');
        } else if (title_remaining/title_length <= 0.1) {
          $('.title-max-char').addClass('red');
        }
      });

That code should be better added in a future theme update so we don't have to copy-paste on each theme update.
It would be helpful.

+1 for this to be added
