Hello!

A friend of mine pointed me to this:
He's running a quite popular forum about computer security and many websites use his newsfeed. The problem is that the newsfeed publishes the full content of the thread so that the users don't have to go back to the original source. Additionally some webmasters don't even post information on the original source.

This modification let's you choose wether you want to have the full content to be published or only the first 50 (or 100 or 12 , ...) characters.

It basically turns this:

Thread title
Hello, I've found quite some interesting stuff at http://www.mrnase.de and the best of all - it's free! Go and check it out!

into this:
Thread title
Hello, I've found quite some interesting...


This modification has two settings, one to turn it completely off and one setting which let's you chose how many characters you want to display. Default is '50'.

It has been tested with the RSS2 feed (seems to be the most common one).

The instructions are simple, you have to edit external.php and import one new product.


Before:Attachment 52759

After: Attachment 52758

Darn, doesn't work on 3.6.7 as the threads aren't trimmed at all. It's just like it ignores it and does what it wants, LOL.

MrNase is very busy, I guess. This product is not working in 3.7; Readme.txt has misleading statement. It says

"Now login to your Admin CP and check out the vBulletin Options. Have a look at the 'Trim Feed Contents?', you'll need to turn it 'on'."

"Trim Feed Contents?" is under "External Data Provider" under Options.

VB shows trimmed content by default in Firefox, you don't need this product to trim the description. Only IE shows the full description.

I do not think it will be updated. You need to read the thread carefully before you post -- you might save yourself some time. This is a support forum not an "I need for free forum", it really does not respect the developers that posted their free mods. Sorry for the rant, but this is the third post that I have seen you do this.
