Replace Previous and Next Link with Actual Thread Titles

This one is by request. At the bottom of each thread, rather than show links that show Previous or Next, it shows the actual titles of the previous and next threads.

It's a plugin that requires one small template edit.

Thank You.

How could I limit the actual thread title to 30 characters i.e.?

Example:

Very long Thread Tit... | A much longer Th...

[Tomek]

The solution:

PHP Code:


$maxchars = 30; 
if (strlen($prevarray['title'])>$maxchars) 
{ 
   $prevarray['title'] = substr($prevarray['title'], 0, $maxchars) . '...'; 
} 
if (strlen($nextarray['title'])>$maxchars) 
{ 
   $nextarray['title'] = substr($nextarray['title'], 0, $maxchars) . '...'; 
} 


Add this at the bottom of the plugin.

Awesome! I love this hack!

Btw, how do I go about adding the character limit after I've installed the plug-in? Do I remove it, then edit te plug-in, then add it again? Also, you said to enter that code at the end. The VERY end? Or before the </plugin>?

TIA!
