Find:
$itemdata->set('title', strip_bbcode($html_parser->parse_wysiwyg_html_to_bbcode($feed['xml']->parse_template($feed['titletemplate'], $item))));

Replace With:
$thread_length = $vbulletin->options['titlemaxchars'];
$new_length = $thread_length - 4;
$current_title = strip_bbcode($html_parser->parse_wysiwyg_html_to_bbcode($feed['xml']->parse_template($feed['titletemplate'], $item)));
if (strlen($current_title) > $thread_length) {
$new_title = substr($current_title, 0, $new_length) . ' ...';
} else {
$new_title = $current_title;
}
$itemdata->set('title', $new_title);


I haven't tested it, but it should work.
