Forum Summary - UBB.Developers

UBB.Dev

ok my question is pretty simple but i dont know exactly how to do it or where to look, so i'll ask you fine people here at ubbdev.

on my ubb 6.2 on the forum summary (front page) it shows the last post.

Quote

quote:

Title of Post (User who replied)
Date Time

When the post is larger, it does this

quote:
[qb]
Title of Post that is very long and annoy... (User who replied)
Date Time
[/qb]

it makes it ugly and i hate it. i kno theres a character to set somewhere that by default is at 25 before it puts the ...'s. I want to modify that number, and then reformat the area to look like this

if anyone knows how to do this plz let me know thank you!!!!!

ubb_forum_summary.cgi:

Code

			if (length($last_subject) > 25) {
				$last_subject = &GoodNiceTruncate($last_subject, 26);
			}

(At least in 6.3.x, shouldn't be so different in 6.2 if different at all).
Change the "26" to whatever you please.

The rest is in your templates (public_forum_summary.pl).

thank you idle, sir.

well, the stuff in public forum summary looks a bit confusing as it looks like the bit that calls the author name also calls the topic name as well. not sure on this but i dunno, im noob. hehe thank you!

nm i got it. thank you idle!
