This is a simplfied version of what we do ;

Hook: external_query

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

What can we add to this to make it work on Blog Feeds as well??

Hi

It seems that adding &nohtml=1 to the feed url will cut the description and remove the attachments from the feed.
So I simply made a plugin attached to the external_start hook with this code:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->GPC['nohtml'] = 1; 


This produced the desired effect for me on the feed. Hope it helps anyone.

This worked on 4.1.11 with execution order set to 1.
