Hi, I am wondering how to change the number of characters that appear in the title of the threads in portal.php. You can have a look at www.qnhl.com, and see the "Latest Threads" section on the right. I would like to make the threads titles longer (I mean that they are now cut after 25 characters, I want to be able to read more of it on portal).I found in portal.php (if ... > 25) ...do someting...
So I cahnged it to 33, but it didn't work.

Any idea?

Thanks,
GSA

Open the file portal.php and search for:

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

Replace with:

		if(strlen($thread['subject']) > 33)
		{
			$thread['subject'] = substr($thread['subject'], 0, 33) . "...";
		}

EDIT: I think you're using the sidboxes mod. Then there should be a file sb.php in your forums directory. You have to change the code there.

Moved into the modifications forum.

ohhh! Right! Thanks, I was changing portal.php instead of sb.php. I actually aleady did what you told me there.
