im looking for a way to limit the string length of entry bodies in serendipity, i would also like to restrict images to the extended body only. I was trying to dig thru the code to add this functionality, but im not finding it. anyone know how to accomplish this?

There is no way to limit the length of a text field in HTML. The solution would need to be either JavaScript or server-side. Likewise, HTML does not include a way to limit the contents of a text field, so limiting images to the extended body would have to be JavaScript or server-side, too.

If you want to do the checking before the entry is submitted, use JavaScript. I'm afraid I'm not much help there; I can tell that the HTML is emitted from entries.inc.php.

If you want to do the checking on the server side, I'd check out the "Rules for publishing" plugin, serendipity_event_entrycheck. It currently checks for a few option before actually saving the entry, and can print an error page if there's a problem. You could just add code to check for <img> tags and add an entry max and min length.
