Recent threads text preview

[momlwt]

Hello,

I am trying to get a very specific thing done. I am looking for a way to get a text preview about 100 to 200 characters to show under the titles in the Recent Threads module. I know about the hover preview but we are looking for text not the hover.

I am sure there has to be a way to do this but so far my attempts haven't been too successful.

Any help to get the effect that we are looking for will be greatly appriciated.

You would need to edit the adv_portal_latesttopicbits template and change the code in there. I believe the variable for that is $thread[preview].
