help to mod external.php

[wold3mort]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use the rss feed but as you can see in this link:

http://www.informaticagames.com/external.php?do=rss&type=newcontent&sectionid=1&days=120&count=10

articles that show are cut, I would that they were given in full can you help?

No, how should we? The only one who could help would be the one providing that RSS feed. If he choose to provide only a certain part of each article, he probably did so for a reason. Likely, he does not want someone else to automatically repost his whole articles.

Your only chance would be to contact the feed provider.

If you are talking about the feed from your own site, you could edit external.php and find the 2 lines like this:
$xml->add_tag('description', fetch_trimmed_title($plainmessage, $vbulletin->options['threadpreview']));


and replace $vbulletin->options['threadpreview'] with 0.

You could also use a plugin on hook external_start, and code like:
$vbulletin->options['threadpreview'] = 0;

Edit: also note that the feed is cached, so you might not see the changes right away.

exact is my site that I can't change the length of the text ... I tried to create the plugin we see how it goes, how long do I have to wait?

The setting is External Data Provider > Thread Cache Lifespan, and the default is 60 minutes.

You could also delete all records from the externalcache table.
