Truncate Comments and add ...

[RyteByte]

Greetings.

I did a search through the forums for an answer to my question, but found none.

I have users that are posting long comments for their images.  I would like to allow a full comment to be posted, limit the amount of characters of a comment shown on the main thumbnail page (CopperMine entry page).

If the comment is less than 100 characters, I would like it to display normally.

If the comment is more than 99 characters, I would like 96 characters of the comment to be displayed along with a "..." added onto the end of the displayed comment.

Finally, if possible, I would like the "..." at the end of the comment to be linked to the main viewing page, just like the thumbnail.

Anyone know how to do this?
