A Topic Post-Teaser for the Frontpage

[feline]

A small modify for TinyPortal for a better display the Topics on the Frontpage ..

You have to modify two files .. TPortal.php and TPortal.template.php
First .. the TPortal.php

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request))
{
// If we want to limit the length of the post.
if (!empty($length) && strlen($row['body']) > $length)
{
$row['body'] = substr($row['body'], 0, $length);

// The first space or line break. (<br />, etc.)
$cutoff = max(strrpos($row['body'], ' '), strrpos($row['body'], '<'));

if ($cutoff !== false)
$row['body'] = substr($row['body'], 0, $cutoff);
$row['body'] .= '...';
}

$row['body'] = doUBBC($row['body'], $row['smileysEnabled']);

// Check that this message icon is there...
if (empty($modSettings['messageIconChecks_disable']) && !isset($icon_sources[$row['icon']]))
$icon_sources[$row['icon']] = file_exists($settings['theme_dir'] . '/images/post/' . $row['icon'] . '.gif') ? 'images_url' : 'default_images_url';

censorText($row['subject']);
censorText($row['body']);

could this code be modified to parse for a some king of read-more tag? i don't if that would be possible or would require deeper changes
