Truncate RSS Feed Manager posts?

Hello,

I have set my RSS feed manager to publish snippets of my blog. Thing is, it publishes the entire content of the blog post and not the first 150 characters or so.

Is there a way I can set in the RSS Feed manager a parameter to truncate the post to the first 150 characters? I'd like to do it in the RSS feed manager instead of in my blog in case other users want their content posted as well.

Thanks!

Barbara

I don't know about for blogs, but this works for the regular RSS feed and I'm sure you can modify it to work with the blog feed:

hook location: external_query

PHP Code:


		
			
unset($vbulletin->GPC['fulldesc']); 
$vbulletin->options['threadpreview'] = 150; 
$hook_query_fields .= ",LEFT(post.pagetext,300) AS message";

Forgive me for the following inane question -

What do I *do* with that code snippet? Is there a specific area in AdminCP where I should enter it?

Thank you,

It's a plugin. I can't help you with what hook location to use or how to modify the code since I don't have the blog software.
