What VB function is used to cut thread titles on a word boundary ?

Hi,

This function must be used when displaying the titles of the thread on the forum page. Does anybody know what function are they using ?

Regards,
Razvan

Do you mean a character limit that replaces overflowed text with "..."?

Yes. If you have noticed, they are not just cutting text. For example a phrase like this:

Code:

"This is the thread title."

is displayed like this: (if it is too long)

Code:

"This is the thread ... "

and not like this:

Code:

"This is the thread tit ... "

I hope that you understand.

Oh, i completely understand what you mean, but to my knowledge you could only cut text on a per-letter basis in the Admin CP.

You're looking for fetch_trimmed_title

PHP Code:


		
			
/**
* Trims a string to the specified length while keeping whole words
*
* @param    string    String to be trimmed
* @param    integer    Number of characters to aim for in the trimmed string
*
* @return    string
*/
function fetch_trimmed_title($title, $chars = -1)
