strlen usernames in postbit

I simply want to prevent usernames from wrapping to a new line by cutting off long usernames and add "...". This is a default feature in IPB to my knowledge, so I'm not sure why it hasn't been done in vBulletin.

I know the basic strlen code to use, but I'm stumped with what hook to use and what additional code I'd need in the plugin (like queries, etc.).

Dismounted? Anyone? :)

Hook: postbit_display_complete

PHP Code:


		
			
$usernamelen = strlen($post['username']);

if ($usernamelen > 25)
{
    $post['username'] = substr($post['username'], 0, (25 - $usernamelen)) . '...';
}

Well that's basically what I had... but still no dice.

Ah..... I'm guessing I need to use $post['musername'] or something instead? This doesn't shorten the big username, but it does shorten the username in the dropdown menu when you click on the big username.
---------------------------------
OK..... It doesn't work exactly the way I need it to.. It currently takes any Username HTML markup into account so here's what happens:

Code:

<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?u=1"><span styl...=""></span></a>

This was when I tested the # of characters at 10 instead of 25.

Try:

PHP Code:


		
			
$usernamelen = strlen($post['username']);

if ($usernamelen > 25)
{
    $post['username'] = substr($post['username'], 0, (25 - $usernamelen)) . '...';
}

$post['musername'] = fetch_musername($post);

Nope, that's still replacing the wrong instance of the username in the postbit.

That replaces the username in the thead of the dropdown when you click on the Big Username.

If I replace all $post['username'] instances with $post['musername'] it still goes completely screwy.

Example:

Code:

<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?u=39"><span style="" text="" javascript=""> vbmenu_register("postmenu_4332", true); 

                                

                        </span></a>

and it wraps

Code:

<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?u=39"></a>

around EVERYthing in the postbit.
