Limited Bio

[chiefsaab]

Hi, I wanted to know is there is any way to limit Bio details to a certain word count after which a "Read More" link for a pop-up is created? Or at least something to limit the words amount.

Thanx

EDIT:
here it is anyway, make sure you name it 'goughy_shortbio.php' and place it in /inc/plugins. then activate it in plugin manager in ACP

global $mybb;
//If the members on the profile page and the "showfullbio" is not yes
if($mybb->input['action'] == "profile" && $mybb->input['showfullbio'] != yes){
 	//run the plugin (shortens the bio)
	$plugins->add_hook("member_profile_end", "goughy_shortbio");
}else{
	//displays as normal
