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

Perfect!!! Thanks Boofo! You da man!

[edit to add] Hrm.... I just typed in a 70 character title with no truncation

I am running v2.2.9

I'm running 2.2.9 also. Make sure you have the code I gave you right above this:

PHP Code:

      $thread[lastreplydate]=vbdate($dateformat,$thread[lastpost]);
      $thread[lastreplytime]=vbdate($timeformat,$thread[lastpost]);

      $thread[gotonew]='';

      $thread[newoldhot]='folder';
      if (!$thread[open]) {
        $thread[newoldhot]='lock'.$thread[newoldhot];
      }

What is the problem? If there were codes working with
the data base?
you make it too huge aranoid:

As you can see, the code I have put is

PHP Code:

if(strlen($thread[title]) > $akbr){

$thread[title] = substr($thread[title],0,$small);

$thread[title] = "$thread[title] ...";
}
//end characters hack 


you can change

$small

with

$akbr

With the numbers you want, and you brought a code from outside,
I don?t have a clue why!!

I have put it as the following

PHP Code:

//start characters hack
$akbr=$DB_site->query("SELECT value FROM setting WHERE settingid=300");
$small=$DB_site->query("SELECT value FROM setting WHERE settingid=301");
             if(strlen($thread[title]) > $akbr){

$thread[title] = substr($thread[title],0,$small);

$thread[title] = "$thread[title] ...";
}
//end characters hack 


with the extra stuff, so the user will be able to use it from the control panel
and it doesn't need the file to be uploaded every time the number changes

The hack is working perfectly
I don?t know why it didn't work with you

Do the following

Open

forumdisplay.php

find in line 609 :

PHP Code:

    if ($wordwrap!=0) {
        $thread[title]=dowordwrap($thread[title]);
      } 


after that add :

PHP Code:

//start characters hack
             if(strlen($thread[title]) > 30){

$thread[title] = substr($thread[title],0,25);

$thread[title] = "$thread[title] ...";
}
//end characters hack 


30 , 25
That is all, and it will work 100%

But you will not be able to control it from the control panel

There's no problem at all. But if I can save 2 queries for each thread just to get the length and set it, then I will go that route. I wasn't trying to infringe on your hack. I just offered an easier solution and avoided the queries.

[all-the-vb]

no problem

thank for help

Ok that works perfectly thanks a lot. Not to be inconsiderate or rude but being that I have installed Boofo's version of this hack I still need to know how to remove the options in the Admin panel cause apparently the settings.php isn't showing anything new. Thanks again.
