how to cut/limit the sentence(letters) on non vB page

[Idlehearts]

And can anyone tell me how to cut off the sentence(letters) on the non vB page below 10 letters

Coz : if my thread title is:

How to put image at starting of a link in latest active threads on Non vB page

This is being shown on non vB page as

How to put image
at starting of a lin
k in latest active
threads on Non
vB page

I want this to be shown as

How to put image.....

Thanks

You might want to look up the function fetch_trimmed_title in the functions.php file.

What to change here

function fetch_trimmed_title($title, $chars = -1, $append = true)

if ($chars == -1)

if ($chars)

$titlearr = preg_split('#(\r\n|\n|\r)#', $title);

{
$title .= "$key \n";
$i++;
if ($i >= 10)
{
break;
}
}
$title = trim($title);
unset($titlearr);

if (vbstrlen($title) > $chars)
{
$title = vbchop($title, $chars);
if (($pos = strrpos($title, ' ')) !== false)
{
$title = substr($title, 0, $pos);
}
if ($append)
{
$title .= '...';
}
}

//$title = fetch_soft_break_string($title);
}

return $title;
}

Don't change it. Use the function for the titles in your non-vb page.
