From eb22d2d2401293ec87e9fa2c2e7fb053d9780dfd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brion Vibber Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2010 15:04:08 -0800 Subject: Ticket 2135: trim overlong repeats with ellipsis rather than failing. In web interface and retweet/repeat API we show the original untrimmed text, but some back-compat API messages will still show the trimmed 'RT' version. This matches Twitter's behavior on overlong retweets, though we're outputting the RT version in more API results than they do. --- classes/Notice.php | 13 +++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'classes') diff --git a/classes/Notice.php b/classes/Notice.php index 93e94230d..6d75cbcad 100644 --- a/classes/Notice.php +++ b/classes/Notice.php @@ -1366,12 +1366,21 @@ class Notice extends Memcached_DataObject { $author = Profile::staticGet('id', $this->profile_id); - // FIXME: truncate on long repeats...? - $content = sprintf(_('RT @%1$s %2$s'), $author->nickname, $this->content); + $maxlen = common_config('site', 'textlimit'); + if (mb_strlen($content) > $maxlen) { + // Web interface and current Twitter API clients will + // pull the original notice's text, but some older + // clients and RSS/Atom feeds will see this trimmed text. + // + // Unfortunately this is likely to lose tags or URLs + // at the end of long notices. + $content = mb_substr($content, 0, $maxlen - 4) .
