Split topic view

[wbear]

I was just moving a few things around on our board, and needed to split a topic. When I went to the page for doing this, I couldn't easily tell which posts to move where, since a number of them had quoted the previous user, and the text was too truncated to see beyond the quoting. This meant I needed to open a second window and compare post times to make these edits.

My question is, can the quoted text in the "split topic" page be made longer to avoid this sort of thing? If so, where should I look for that?
Thanks

It looks like this would require modifying the construct_post_tree() function in the includes/functions_threadmanage.php file. I recommend you post on www.vbulletin.org for help with this.

Thanks, Jake, will do.

While waiting for the answer, I did some poking around, and found it.

/includes/functions_threadmanage.php

// cut page text short if too long
			if (strlen($post['pagetext']) > [b]100[/b])
			{
				$spacepos = strpos($post['pagetext'], ' ', [b]100[/b]);

Increase the numeric values to suit.
