REQ: Thread subject Character Limit code?

[bai]

I am wondering if there is some kind of header code I can get that will limit the number of characters displayed (rather than outright allowed) in the navigation tree/hierarchy thingy. Because when characters are "too long" for the theme I'm using, this happens:







If this kind of code is possible, is there a way I can also have a separate character count for the edit post page? I noticed that that one cuts off after an even shorter amount of characters.

You could put this in the CSS Styling of your theme(s)...

#nav-tree-branch-2>div {
    max-width: 100px;
}
#nav-tree-branch-2>div>a {
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
    
}

change the red number to suit

I added that and played around with it for a minute, but it just disfigured the nav-tree more! Thank you for that code though!

I just quickly added the base code (with the unaltered 100px value) to show you:



Edit: I played around with the code again, first adding an extra zero to the default value - same thing happened. Then I took away two zeros and it did this:

Can you please Post or PM me a link to your forum so I can take a look.

Thanks.
