Caption Cutoff for all users?

[lovebags]

In the vanilla version of Subsonic there is the ability to change the caption cutoff default for all users with this code entered in db.view

Code: Select all

update user_settings set main_caption_cutoff = 35

I notice that in the Madsonic version, this function does not work across all users when entered in to db.view.

With no current global way to set the caption cutoff for all users as a menu setting, is there a way to get around this?

It works for me now. Not sure what may have been the cause but I uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and are now on B3158SE. Thanks for your help!

I just tested this with LDAP users and found that the caption cutoff can't be adjusted for them unless they have first adjusted this themselves. This is in both Madsonic and Subsonic versions. If you login as an LDAP user and do a db search on user settings, nothing comes up at all. If you then adjust the caption cutoff in the personal preferences and run the db search again, the user and their settings appears. You can then do the global adjustment and it works fine.

This issue does not occur when manually signing up regular users so it must be an LDAP thing. Will just need to live with his for now and tell users to adjust the cutoff setting themselves if they need.
