EasyBlog Quick Update compositions have their titles truncated to only 10 characters! That makes it unusable compared to standard post composition. How can I double or triple the tittle truncation limit?
Hello Gordon,

So sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The title of the post is not truncated by default. I tested this in my local and it is working fine. http://screencast.com/t/BVmqAz4mm Please send us your site's backend and FTP access so that we can check it out. Please advice.

Thanks!

Sorry, I should have provided more background. The quick update screen allows you to quickly enter a story and post it. The title, it says, is optional. When you leave the title out, a severely truncated (10 character) copy of the initial body of the article is used as the title. This is where the problem occurs. See the attached screen shot.

I get it that one man's bug may be another man's feature. I'm just wondering if I could adjust the 10 character truncation to more like 30 characters in my site.

Hello Gordon,

So sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Thanks for the info here. Yes the post title is truncated to 10 by default. Please go to this file

JOOMLA/components/com_easyblog/classes/microblog/text.php

and set the value 10 in line 27
	$title			= JString::substr( $content , 0 , 10 ) . '...';

to whatever value you want. Hope this helps.

Thanks!
