This is a mod to limit the amount of news that displays on the index page and link to the articles page to read the rest. Default is 150 characters, you can adjust that by changing the value of $charlimit.

In modules/News/index.php find:

Code: $story_link = '<a href="news.html?amp;file=article&amp;sid=' . $sid . '">';

After add:

Code: $charlimit = 150; if (strlen($hometext) <= $charlimit) {                $hometext = $hometext; }else{                $hometext = substr($hometext, 0, strrpos(substr($hometext, 0, $charlimit), ' ')) . '  '.$story_link.'' . _READMORE . '</a></p>'; }

If the 150 character cut off is in the middle of a link, it will link the posted by info. You need to make sure the links do not fall within the 150 characters to avoid this.
