Open sources/action_public/uportal.php

Find: In News not Latest news!!! Be careful

while($fetch = $this->ipsclass->DB->fetch_row($query))
			{


Add below:

$fetch[post] = substr($fetch[post], 0, 400)."...";



Change tha number 400 for yours choise!

Now this code cuts off the news after 400 characters!

Open cache/lang_cache/*/lang_uportal.php

Find:

'view_comments'		=>	"View Comments",



Replace With:

'view_comments'		=>	"More",

Is there a way to make it so it will make all the posts on the portal page the same height? I like these edits but it's making each post different sizes. I would prefer to have them all the same height if anyone knows how to do that, I would really appreciate it. Thanks

I used this to good effect, I tried a similar thing in the skin but this is much better. I did it your way....and I added some setting in the admin area to change the teaser length from the portal settings page. I need that since I use a lot of images in the portal and they always cut off too short and display the html.


Open up your acp and under admin tab>SQL Management> SQL toolbox - scroll down to run a manual query. assuming your using the standard ibf_ prefix for the tables! 

INSERT INTO `ibf_up_settings` (`name`, `value`) VALUES ('tease_length', '400');


Edit the file /public_html/forum/sources/action_admin/uportal.php

find the code below near line 309

$this->ipsclass->html .= $this->ipsclass->adskin->add_td_row( array( "<b>Number of Latest News Items to display:</b>" ,
										  $this->ipsclass->adskin->form_input( "num_latest_news", $GLOBALS['setting']['num_latest_news']  )
								 )	  );


Add Below that
$this->ipsclass->html .= $this->ipsclass->adskin->add_td_row( array( "<b>How many charactors to show?</b>" ,
										  $this->ipsclass->adskin->form_input( "tease_length", $GLOBALS['setting']['tease_length']  )
								 )	  );


Open the file /public_html/forum/sources/action_public/uportal.php - same name as the admin file, diff folder!

Now do the same edit redalert did in NEWS not Latest news

find
while($fetch = $this->ipsclass->DB->fetch_row($query))
			{


Add below
$fetch[post] = substr($fetch[post], 0, $GLOBALS['setting']['tease_length']).$this->ipsclass->lang['more'];



I also wanted to dress up the title of each block a bit so I added a line above that which puts an intro in front of the title "Featured forum post ::"
$fetch[title] = ($this->ipsclass->lang['news_main'].$fetch[title]);


Open up file /public_html/forum/cache/lang_cache/en/lang_uportal.php
stick in a new line in there somewhere with the others
'news_main'  => "Featured Forum Post :: ",
'more'  => ".....[more] ",

Does anyone know how to make it so you have the scrollers next to it instead of this?

I like the mod, however, having the scrolling bars were fantastic and worked out awsome!

Can someone do it?

Remember, that if you have HTML or BBCode in your posts, then this WILL break your portal almost garuanteed. Say you have <a href='Test'</a> and your 400th character is the "s" in that previous example, then you'll have a missing closed </a> tag, and that's not good.
