Truncating the display of a user profile field in postbit

I have a custom user profile field that when registering, needs to be about 40 characters long, but when I display it in the postbit

HTML Code:

$post[field18]

, I need to truncate it to 7 characters.

How would I go about doing that?

You'd have to create a Plugin with a hook location of something like postbit_display or postbit_process. Then use PHP code like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$post['field18'] = substr($post['field18'], 0, 7); 

// If you want to add the trailing dots then use the line below instead:
$post['field18'] = substr($post['field18'], 0, 7) . '...';

Wow - worked like a charm. postbit_display_start was the hook location that did the trick.

Thanks for your help!
