On the home page, there are four columns, "Forums," "Threads," "Posts," and "Last Post."
If a post title is over ~25 characters the title gets cut off with a ...
How do I change this limit?
In ./inc/functions_forumlist.php, from line 232:
if(my_strlen($lastpost_subject) > 25)
{
$lastpost_subject = my_substr($lastpost_subject, 0, 25)."...";
}
Change both instances of 25.
Thanks for the quick response. Just out of curiosity, wouldn't it make more sense to check if it's > 27 because otherwise the ... will take up more room than the characters normally would?
no, by the looks of things, it gets the first 25 characters, then appends "..."
EG:
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy..." (>25)
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyza..." (>27)
if(my_strlen($lastpost_subject) > 25)
should be 27, eg:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
is 26 characters, now that would be converted to
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy...
when instead of the ... you could have just had the full thing with less characters
I see what you mean, it may end up making it longer than it was originally. Could be considered a bug really, I mean if you cut of one character off the end and then add ... on the end, that's not ideal.
Yeah that actually happened on my forum, I suggest you (MyBB) change the first number to 27.
Or even better, make it a setting and then do setting + 2.
