Restrict the "title" field

How can I limit the "title" field in admin-form of "news 1.66" module to 80 characters?
In which file can this be done?

I've been trying to figure it out: modules\news\admin\index.php
case 'newarticle':
xoops_cp_header();
news_adminmenu(1);
include_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH . '/class/module.textsanitizer.php';
newSubmissions();
autoStories();
lastStories();
expStories();
echo '

' . _AM_POSTNEWARTICLE . '

';
$type = 'admin';
$title = ''; - Is there any way to change this to limit the length of the field?
$topicdisplay = 0;

But that's probably not how it's done.

hi

you can add a truncate in your template file
e.g. <{$title|truncate:80}>

I did what I needed to do. Maybe someone else will need it.
modules/news/include
edit files storyform.inc.php and storyform.original.php

$sform = new XoopsThemeForm(_NW_SUBMITNEWS, "storyform", XOOPS_URL.'/modules/'.$xoopsModule->getVar('dirname').'/submit.php');
$sform->setExtra('enctype="multipart/form-data"');
$sform->addElement(new XoopsFormText(_NW_TITLE, 'title', 50, 255, $title), true);

replace 255 with 80

This is done for a news aggregator, as conditions have changed there.

This is done for a news aggregator (dzen.ru ). Their conditions have changed.
