A question about external.php

[PingCity]

Hi,

Do you know how can I limit the number of description words in external.php?

Currently all the text body of threads and posts is placed in RSS page. I want to make it limited to 250 words.

Thank you.

external.php uses the "Length of Thread Preview Text" option (under Forum Display Options) for the description length, unless the url contains &fulldesc=1. If you don't want to change the thread preview length used in other places, I believe you could create a plugin using hook external_start and set $vbulletin->options['threadpreview'] = 250 there.

Thank you for your help.

I made a mistake in describing the problem. My problem is not the description. It is the content. I want the external.php not to show the whole content. Only the description is enough. How can I remove the content from external.php output?

Content is placed between <content:encoded> and </content:encoded> on the external.php output page. I want to remove it.

Thank you in advance.

There's no setting that I can see, but try a plugin using hook external_start and this code:

$vbulletin->GPC['nohtml'] = 1;
