Truncate $thread_get[title] with ... at end?

[amnesia623]

How would I truncate the $thread_get[title] to a specific amount of characters and add ... at the end if the title is truncated?

I'm trying to apply it to the modification here -> http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=134552&highlight=recent+posts&page=2


I would really appreciate it! thanks!

edit: i tried this http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=75418 but the fetch_trimmed_title function seems to be missing? probably dropped in recent versions of VB maybe?

fetch_trimmed_title lives in functions.php

if you make sure that file is included in your script, the function will work.

grep is your friend!

What is grep?

grep is a *nix command that allows you to search inside all files for a particular string or even regular expression.


I simply went to my public_html/includes directory and typed
grep 'function fetch_trimmed" *.php
