By default what is the length of the username in
threadlist last post column before it gets cut
...
What file controls that function????
Looks like I found it:
forumdisplay.php
$lastposterlink = build_profile_link($lastposter, $lastposteruid);
Is there a way to do it without modifying core file????
You'll need to have a plugin do this. Try hooking to forumdisplay_thread. Globalize the variables $mybb and $thread.
Ok this is embarrassing all my threads sooner or later end up talking about plugins.
Moderators please move this thread was not really trying to discuss plugin here!
<hr>
I am using this but doesn't seem to do anything!
Important!!!!!!! My initial intention was not to talk about plugin here!!!!!!
$plugins->add_hook("forumdisplay_thread", "threadlist_username_cut");
function threadlist_username_cut()
{
global $mybb, $thread;
if(strlen($thread['lastposter']) > "5")
{
$lastposter = htmlspecialchars_uni(my_substr($lastposter,0,5)."...");
}
}
You can't modify the lastposter variable because it's defined after hook.
But you can define a new variable:
function threadlist_username_cut()
{
global $thread, $newlastposterlink;
if(strlen($thread['lastposter']) > 5)
{
$newlastposter = htmlspecialchars_uni(my_substr($thread['lastposter'], 0, 5)).'...';
$newlastposterlink = $thread['lastposteruid'] ? build_profile_link($newlastposter, $thread['lastposteruid']) : $newlastposter;
}
}
And then add that variable to template instead of the old link.
