any one help me from which file i can edit these settings

[Lynne]

I don't know of a way you can set the description length in default vbulletin - it looks like it takes the first 500 characters of the first post to use as the description. What did you want to change it to? You'll probably have to modify the files.

[ymcus]

many sites are using the title and the category name in description like vbulletindotorg watch in ur page source plz tell me the procedure to change this or modify these settings

--------------- Added 1387773006 at 1387773006 ---------------

or want to edit these settings upto 200 characters

[Lynne]

I think it may be set in showthread.php around like 349. Change 500 to 200.

$thread['meta_description'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_censored_text(fetch_tri mmed_title($thread['meta_description'], 500, false)));

[ymcus]

thanks alot and if i want title and category name in description then what should i have to do

[Lynne]

Modify that line of code to put those things in there.

$thread['meta_description'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_censored_text(fetch_tri mmed_title($thread['meta_description'], 500, false)));

what is proper encoding to edit application/x-httpd-php file???

[Lynne]

You should only use a plain text editor to edit any files and make sure the encoding you choose to save it in does NOT say "with BOM"!

[ymcus]

[TommyHara]

You need to write a php function to limit number of words on page on content.

any one guide me plz

[Lynne]

This is not going to work:
$thread['meta_description'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_censored_text(fetch_tri mmed_title($thread['title'], $thread['forumid'], false)));
You would need something like:
$thread['meta_description'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_censored_text(fetch_tri mmed_title($thread['title'].$thread['forumid'], 500, false)));

Please see the api for that function here - https://members.vbulletin.com/api/vBulletin/_includes---functions.php.html#functionfetch_trimmed_title The second parameter must be a number.

sir $thread['forumid'] gives the output of forum id number but i want to display forum name
this code gives me the output of title and forum number but forum name
i had search a lot but i cant find the variable of forum category name
e.g:- any one help me to limit the content size vB4 General Discussions
title and forum category name

[Lynne]

Perhaps $foruminfo['title'] or $foruminfo['title_clean']

[ymcus]

Perhaps $foruminfo['title'] or $foruminfo['title_clean']

thanku so much dear it is runing properly :)
