Hey there,

I need to find a way to truncate long usernames in the CZUser-Info block. I have some users that have LONG names (like 18-20 charachters). Is there a way this can be done...where if it exceeds so many charachters that it truncates it with "..." ?

Thanks,

MJ

Alrighty, I found my answer after surfing a bit. I'm not sure how it works, but I know it does. I wanted to share my findings in case anyone else needs this.

I opened the CZUser-Info block file and added this around line 26:

$truncate = 13; // number of chars before truncated.

function trun($s, $l) {
if (strlen($s) > $l) {
$return = substr($s,0,$l-3).'...';
} else { $return = $s; }
return $return;
}

If you don't mind me adding a little bit....

With a little more modification you can also change the Latest User and have it truncated too.

---------- FIND ---------

// Info for users who are logged in AND Guests
$last = new_users();
$lastuser = last_user();

You could also add a new function into your mainfile.php:

//$val - What your truncating
//$cut_len - How many letters before you truncate it

function cut_word($val, $cut_len) {
$tot_len = strlen($val);
$cut_str = substr($val, 0, $cut_len);
$len = strlen($cut_str);
for($i=0;$i < $len;$i++) {
for($i=0;$i < $len;$i++) {
if(ord($val[$i]) > 127) $hanlen++;
else $englen++;
}
$cut_gap = $hanlen % 2;
if($cut_gap == 1){
   $hanlen--;
   }
$length=$hanlen + $englen;

   if($tot_len > $length){
   return substr($val, 0, $length)."...";
   } else {
   return substr($val, 0, $length);
   }
}
}

Sweet, thanks guys!
