I’m using the trunchtml plugin and it works great, EXCEPT - I can’t seem to get the endings I specify in the tag to show up on the same line as the last line of the truncated text.  Instead they show up on the next line (line break).

Here is my code:

<div class="postBody">
        {exp:trunchtml chars="300" ending="... [ <a href='{path=blog/entry}'>continue reading</a> ]"} {blog_body}{/exp:trunchtml}
</div>

I’d like it to output like this:

this is the last line of text… [ continue reading ]

But instead it outputs like this (with a line break):

this is the last line of text
...[ continue reading ]

I think the parameter you’re looking for is “inline” and not “ending”. Give this a try:

<div class="postBody">
        {exp:trunchtml chars="300" inline="... [ <a href='{path=blog/entry}'>continue reading</a> ]"} {blog_body}{/exp:trunchtml}
</div>

Hmmm, I tried that and the ending just disappeared altogether.

I was following the parameters they listed here:  http://expressionengine.com/downloads/details/trunchtml/

Ah, that appears to be out of date. Check here

Sweet!  Except it doesn’t work for me for some reason - I simply replaced “ending” above with “inline” and the whole thing just disappears for some reason…?

Perhaps I have the older version installed - I bet that’s it.  DOH!

Are you running the latest version?

Haha, yea it should work. Hopefully it’s solved 😊

Problem most definately solved!  Thank you so much for the link Erik, I was about to start pulling out my hair.  😊
