Topic: how to get rid of '&hellip' in the extern.php results displayed?

Hi,

I'm trying to use extern.php to show the latest posts on my homepage.  But the result shown is cut off.  Suppose the title of the latest post is 'abcdefghijkl', the result that's displayed is instead 'abcd...' 

What needs to be done so the full title is displayed?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Edit extern.php at this line:

$max_subject_length = 30;

Increase that number until it's longer than all subject lines and you won't have any more ellipses in the results.
