Would it be easy to have “hide the url_title field” as an option? We used Structure for many of our sites and have always hidden it with EE1 but this option isn’t there anymore.
There’s a feature request for this on the EE forum, but my experience with feature requests says it might be a while.

EllisLab needs to change only two lines for open url_title hide functionality (delete ‘url_title’ from array):
content_publish.php line 362 'required_fields' => array('title', 'entry_date', 'url_title')
Api_channel_fields.php line 404 $required = array('title', 'entry_date', 'url_title');
Doing this by ext. will be really tricky – at this moment I don’t see way to hide url_title and have possibility to change layout after that. The system just don’t give you to save results, because of line 404.
Hi Max,
I’ve just grabbed a copy of MX Title Control. Appreciate the handy add-on.
Just thought I’d point out that there appears to be a lot of leftover code from another of your add-ons, MX Cloner.
Also, there’s a 256 character limit on the Title field, which makes it difficult to drop in any helpful instructions (which was the reason why I need the addon). Any thoughts on amending the addon to actually support its own field of instructions? Or at the very least increase the amount of characters allowed?
Cheers,
John
Hello johndwells,
I will check this issue today.
Hi Max,
Also, is there a reason why it’s been created as an accessory? Doing so creates an empty (with a zero) accessory tab that will only confuse my (fussy) client.
Why not hook to something like publish_form_end, and then just add the necessary JS via EE->cp->add_to_foot($out)...
Cheers,
John
it was some reasons for this… but I will recheck it too. thanks for note 
Nevermind, I know why - because EE2 removed that hook I mentioned! Annoying.
At the very least it might be nice to hide that tab via JS then…
I also noticed some more seemingly unused code, including a hook to foreign_character_conversion_array? All the method does is return an empty array…
Cheers,
John
version 2.3 is ready no acc, no limits.
I was wondering if there’s a way to change the title max length on a per channel basis, instead of having them all be the same?
well, is not to hard to modify add-on for this.
