    • restrict text-preview to 100 characters?

    Posted by eSeL Austria

    i would like to restrict the output of text (vor various requests) to a certain number or characters

    I. ARTICLES:

    show only the first 100 characters of the full article body

    II. for CALENDAR Events

    list all events - but just show the first 100 characters of the description

    II. for RSS-feeds



    (instead of just setting description to yes or no (desc=>1)
    i would want to show only - let´s say - the first 100 characters of description)

    Try using the truncate modifier. See hereQuestion for details.

    Basically, you'll need to add something like:

    {$the_page_data|truncate:100:"...":true}
