Twitter char display

The module just pulls in whatever is in Twitter's feed, but I can check it. What's your username on Twitter?

Part of the problem is that {node_revisions}.title is varchar(128). A twitter post can be 140 characters, so title is getting trimmed. I'm not sure what should be done, but thought I'd point this out...

I've done something like this:
In my activitystream_twitter.module I've created a function (from http://www.lullabot.com/articles/trim_a_string_to_a_given_word_count, lullabot rules).

function activitystream_twitter_word_trim($string, $count, $ellipsis = FALSE){
  $words = explode(' ', $string);
  if (count($words) > $count){
    array_splice($words, $count);
    $string = implode(' ', $words);
    if (is_string($ellipsis)){
      $string .= $ellipsis;
    }
    elseif ($ellipsis){
      $string .= '...';
    }
  }
  return $string;
}

then I modified activitystream_twitter_streamapi and replaced

$tweet['title'] = preg_replace('/^'.$userid.' /', '', $tweet['title']);

with

$raw_title = preg_replace('/^'.$userid.' /', '', $tweet['title']);
$tweet['title'] = activitystream_twitter_word_trim($raw_title, 10, TRUE);

This trims the node title to 10 words and appends an ellipses (three dots, the html entity doens't work correctly in node title, like any other html).

Created a patch for the above comment, but also added an administration option to set the number of words to display. Set default to 10 as noted above.

I'm not sure this is something I want to do. I'm not a bug fan of creating endless config options as they just tend to confuse the user.

However, a feature that adds an ellipsis if the title is longer than the imported text makes sense. Also changing the twitter display to use the node body instead of the title is probably in order.
