It seems the following code works for the cropping of the URL....you just
change the $DU variable to $PRINTURL where you wanted the cropped version to
be "replaced"...it also adds a "..." after it to show that its not the full
URL:
$cropvalue="75";
if ($lang_url_translation == 'yes') {
$nolangurl = ereg_replace("\.[a-z]{2}\.[a-z]{2,4}$", "", $url);
$str=ereg_replace('\$DU', $nolangurl, $str);
if (strlen($nolangurl) > $cropvalue)
{
$str=ereg_replace('\$PRINTURL',(substr($nolangurl,0,$cropvalue)) .
"...",$str);
}
else
{
$str=ereg_replace('\$PRINTURL',$nolangurl,$str);
}
} else {
$str=ereg_replace('\$DU', $url, $str);
if (strlen($url) > $cropvalue)
{
$str=ereg_replace('\$PRINTURL',(substr($url,0,$cropvalue)) .
"...",$str);
}
else
{
$str=ereg_replace('\$PRINTURL',$url,$str);
}
}
