Truncate Thread Title + Username

[SS9267547]

I'm trying to get the thread title and username to truncate in the forumdisplay.php but I can't find any code for it, just for forumhome. Would any one know what I would have to strlen to make it work? Just want to have like 20 characters for them and then add '...' at the end. Thanks. :ermm:

So any body at all have a clue where to start? Which file to look at? forumdisplay.php? functions_forumdisplay.php? functions_forumlist.php?

in forumdisplay :

FIND :

PHP Code:

         while ($thread = $DB_site->fetch_array($threads))
        { // AND $counter++<$perpage)

            // build thread data
            $thread =process_thread_array($thread, $lastread, $foruminfo['allowicons']); 


below Add :

PHP Code:

$thread['title'] = "newthread title"; 
/*
or as you code means
$titlecount = strlen($thread['title'])

if ($titlecount > 20)
{
$thread['title'] = cut the title here
}

*/

I couldn't get that to work, but I think that would be since I was uploading the wrong files which I noticed this morning, working to many hours lol. Thanks for your help tho!
