After a bit more research i have found the best way. Editting submit.php:
Here is the store process:
le="color: #000000"><?php $story = new NewsStory(); $story->setTitle($subject); $story->setHometext($message); $story->setUid($uid); $story->setTopicId($topic_id); $story->setHostname(xoops_getenv('REMOTE_ADDR')); $story->setNohtml($nohtml_db); $nosmiley = isset($nosmiley) ? intval($nosmiley) : 0; $notifypub = isset($notifypub) ? intval($notifypub) : 0; $story->setNosmiley($nosmiley); $story->setNotifyPub($notifypub); $story->setType('user'); if ( $xoopsModuleConfig['autoapprove'] == 1 ) { $approve = 1; $story->setApproved($approve); $story->setPublished(time()); $story->setExpired(0); $story->setTopicalign('R'); } $result = $story->store();
Now the bit $story->setHometext($message);
can be changed to
$story->setBodytext($message);
then you can add
$story->setHometext(substr($message,0,30).'...');
(i haven't completely worked this out, will substr complain if the string is less than 30 chars? and this will still add the ... to messages less than 30 chars.
