Restrict length of biography on user list was created by tslade

Hi guys,

I am using the user list to display all members; name, profile picture, and bio. The bio is rather long on some members page and was wondering how I would restrict the length of this input on the user list but maintain the full bio on their profile???

Cheers.

I have found the code in the default.php file in the corresponding template, just hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Where would I place the code to restrict the word count (ie .$limit = 50.)

here is the code from the template:

Code:

<?php

		// table content:

		$i = 0;
		if ( is_array( $this->users ) && count( $this->users ) > 0 ) {
			foreach ( $this->users as $userIdx => $user) {
				$class = "sectiontableentry" . ( 1 + ( $i % 2 ) );		// evenodd class

				if ( $this->allow_profilelink ) {
					$style = "style=\"cursor:hand;cursor:pointer;\"";
					$style .= " id=\"cbU".$i."\"" ;
				} else {
					$style = "";
				}
				if ( $user->banned ) {
					echo "\t\t<tr class=\"$class\"><td colspan=\"".$colsNbr."\" ><span class=\"error\" style=\"color:red;\">"._UE_BANNEDUSER." ("._UE_VISIBLE_ONLY_MODERATOR.") :</span></td></tr>\n";
				}
				echo "\t\t<tr class=\"$class\" ".$style.">\n";
	
				foreach ( array_keys( $this->columns ) as $colIdx ) {
					echo "\t\t\t<td valign=\"top\" class=\"cbUserListCol" . $colIdx . "\">" . $this->_getUserListCell( $this->tableContent[$userIdx][$colIdx] ) . "\t\t\t</td>\n";
				}
				echo "\t\t</tr>\n";
				$i++;
			}
		} else {
			echo "\t\t<tr class=\"sectiontableentry1\"><td colspan=\"".$colsNbr."\">"._UE_NO_USERS_IN_LIST."</td></tr>\n";
		}
?>
	  </tbody>
	</table>	

	<hr class="cbUserListHrBottom" size="1" />
<?php
	}
	function _getUserListCell( &$cellFields ) {
		$html				=	array();		
		foreach ( $cellFields as $fieldView ) {
			if ( $fieldView->value !== null ) {
				if  ( $fieldView->title ) {
					$title	=	'<span class="cbUserListFieldTitle cbUserListFT_' . $fieldView->name . '">'
							.	$fieldView->title
							.	':'
							.	'</span> ';
				} else {
					$title	=	'';
				}
				$html[]		=	'<div class="cbUserListFieldLine">'
							.	$title
							.	'<span class="cbListFieldCont cbUserListFC_' . $fieldView->name . '">'
							.	$fieldView->value
							.	'</span>'
							.	'</div>';
			}
		}
		return "\n\t\t\t\t" . implode( "\n\t\t\t\t", $html ) . "\n";
	}
}
?>
