characters hack in the title

Hello Everyone

hack : characters hack in the title .

hacked by All-the-vb

=========================

if a title is more than 40 characters long, what will be taken is only the first number of letters (depends on the number you select), this makes you thread subjects look neater...



example:

if a subject had a thread of 25 characters , you set it to display 14 characters only...



VB land forums.... <-- this is how it will show instead of VB land forums blah blah blah blah

Hmm.... this only affects thread titles in forumdisplay. How about when searching for new posts? The thread title length is unchanged.

Just take the code I posted for this and apply it to the search.php.

wanna throw me a bone and tell me where to add it?

[Boofo]

Smoothie, in search.php, try adding this:

PHP Code:

//start characters length hack 
          $maxchars='30'; // thread title length 
            $searchresult[threadtitle]=unhtmlspecialchars($searchresult[threadtitle]); 
            if (strlen($searchresult[threadtitle]) > $maxchars) { 
              $searchresult[threadtitle] = substr($searchresult[threadtitle], 0, $maxchars-2) . '...'; 
            } 
//end characters length hack 


AFTER this:

PHP Code:

      if ($wordwrap!=0) {
        $searchresult[threadtitle]=dowordwrap($searchresult[threadtitle]);
      } 


and let me know if it works.

I'm working on the forum title in the search.php as well as the private message titles in private.php, too.
