Group discussion not truncated in dashboard

Hello

Is there any way to truncate group discussions for dashboard in easy way, not to hack core files?

For example, if i look to the discussion direct trought group, it is truncated but in dashbord it is not truncated. Found this hack Mark mentioned in other topic. If i set it it works very well in dashboard. This is probabbly a bug, as the content is not truncated in dashboard.

private function formatContent( $discussion )



	{



		// Get the app params so that we determine which stream should be appearing



		$app = $this->getApp();



		$params	= $app->getParams();







		$content = FD::string()->parseBBCode( $discussion->content , array( 'code' => true , 'escape' => false ) );







		// Remove [file] from contents



		$content = $discussion->removeFiles( $content );







		$maxlength = $params->get('stream_discussion_maxlength', 250);



		if ($maxlength) {



			// lets do a simple content truncation here.



			$content = strip_tags($content);



			$content = strlen($content) > $maxlength ? JString::substr($content, 0, $maxlength ) . JText::_('COM_EASYSOCIAL_ELLIPSES') : $content ;



		}







		return $content;



	}

to

private function formatContent( $discussion )

	{

		// Reduce length based on the settings

		$params 	= $this->getParams();

		$max 		= 250;

		$content 	= $discussion->content;



		if ($max != 0) {

			$content 	= JString::substr($discussion->content, 0, $max) . JText::_('COM_EASYSOCIAL_ELLIPSES');

		}



		// Remove code blocks

		$content 	= Foundry::string()->parseBBCode( $content , array( 'code' => true , 'escape' => false ) );



		// Remove [file] from contents

		$content 	= $discussion->removeFiles( $content );



		return $content;

	}
