Meta description length when viewing a topic...

[Pitman]

Is there anyway that I can change the amount of characters that is passed to {vb:var page.metadescription} when viewing a forum topic?

I don't want want quite as many characters in the {vb:var page.metadescription} variable and want to shorten it just a little bit.

You could use substr...

{vb:set testtitle, 'This is a test with more than 20 chars and it will be shorten...'}
{vb:set shortentitle, {vb:php substr, {vb:raw testtitle}, 0, 20}}
{vb:raw shortentitle}

Thank you so much! That works just perfect!
