Hi there,

We have weblog fields on our EE site that are a bit longer than ‘summary text,’ but we’d like to display them in certain areas (like the home page) so the first 100 characters (or certain amount of words, or whatever) is displayed only, with a ‘...read more’ link after it.

We know the standard way of doing this is to have a ‘summary text’ then to link to the full article, but this isn’t practical for us at the moment due to us have several custom weblog fields which we’d like to display in such a way.

Is this possible?  If so, how?

Thanks,

Ste

A couple of plugins, most recently Trunc HTML. The Word Limit and Character Limit plugins ship with EE by default, if I remember correctly.
