How can you edit the truncate limit, so that you get a higher character count in the title of each thread link within {$threadlist} (portal_latestthreads_thread)?


It's mind boggling, but searches for "portal_latestthreads_thread" and "latestthreads" turn up exactly zero results on these forums.

The limit is hard-coded in the core. It is currently set at 25, which you can edit (I recommend using patches for keeping track of all core file edits).
 
In ./portal.php, line 414:

		if(my_strlen($thread['subject']) > 25)
		{
			$thread['subject'] = my_substr($thread['subject'], 0, 25) . "...";
		}

Thank you so much Andrew!
