How can i make the "Post Discussion" content field "NOT required" ?

koukouroukou

i was wondering if there's an easy way to change the characters limitation in the post discussion field.
I would be happy if i was able even to make the content field "Not Required" when a user post a new discussion.
So is there some way to set that field "not required" only for new posts ??

Any advice from your side guys ? Can't find what i have to change to make that field optional only when someone POST a NEW discussion. Maybe i have to modify DB table? Tried the last 10 hours to figure out but no results.

It's like saying that "i do not want the help of other user except the ones i mentioned"

0E800 Thanks my friend. I think that i am at the right way now but i need some more help. FYI I modified the file "vendor/flarum/core/src/Core/Validator/PostValidator.php" and commented the line

'required'

to make the post content field NOT required. Then i cleared the cache and tried to post a new discussion with only the discussion title filled. Guess what ?? It worked!!! But now my problems are:

1⃣ How can override that function so my changes will not be removed on next flarum updates

2⃣ How can i prevent users posting empty replies ?? It seems that the post validator is the same for Both "Post a new Discussion" and "Reply" Forms !! Am i right ??
