How can you limit the FORUM DESCRIPTION to only 50 characters?

[tmanran123]

I'd like to limit the forum description to 50 characters as shown here:

[vbresults]

Creative way to ask the question.

1. Create a plugin.
2. If you want this trimmed effect on just the forum index, select the "forumhome_start" hook. If you want it trimmed everywhere in the forum, select the "global_setup_complete" hook.
3. Paste in the following code.

PHP Code:

foreach (array_keys($vbulletin->forumcache) as $forumId) {
    $description = $vbulletin->forumcache[$forumId]['description'];

    if (strlen($description) > 50) {
        $vbulletin->forumcache[$forumId]['description'] = substr($description, 0, 50);
    }
}
