Is it possible to display the amount of characters of a certain field in another field in the list page.
I want to have a score system based on content, and the more content the higher the score, so in a text box the more words entered the higher the count therefore score.

This is in PHPRunner 6.0

Thanks in advance

Create an alias field, set it as Custom and enter the following code:

$value = count(explode(" ",$data['certain_field']));


This is a very primitive approach. Probably, you would study a more complex solution to count the words.

Thanks you, this seems to count the words, which is even better thank you so much.
