This is a simplfied version of what we do ;

Hook: external_query
Code:

unset($vbulletin->GPC['fulldesc']);
$vbulletin->options['threadpreview'] = 200;
$hook_query_fields .= ",LEFT(post.pagetext,400) AS message";

Would someone please be so kind and tell me step-by-step how to implement this?

I've spent last night and this morning searching vbulletin.org and vbulletin.com for a simple step-by-step instructions on how to limit the output of my RSS feed, but I only found this thread.
