I’m trying to use the trunchtml plug-in, it limits the characters as expected, but is not closing all the html tags.  Am I doing something wrong?

{exp:trunchtml chars="150" ending="<a href='{url_title_path={my_weblog}/comments}'>...Read Full Workout</a>"}{body}{/exp:trunchtml}

The “body” field usually has an html bulleted list in it and that’s where the problems lies - the truchtml tag isn’t closing the <li> or <ul> tags.

anyone?

I don’t really know much about TruncHTML, but you might have to modify the plugin to include these tags.

I tested it with:

{exp:trunchtml chars="100" ending="<a href='{url_title_path=my_weblog/comments}'>...Read Full Workout</a>"}
<ul>
<li>Growing up it all seems so one-sided</li>
<li>Opinions all provided</li>
<li>The future pre-decided</li>
<li>Detached and subdivided</li>
<li>In the mass production zone</li>
<li>Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone</li>
</ul>
{/exp:trunchtml}

Result is:

<ul>
<li>Growing up it all seems so one-sided</li>
<li>Opinions all provided</li>
<li>The future pre-decided</li>
<li>Detached and</li></ul><a href="http://{url_title_path=my_weblog/comments}">...Read Full Workout</a>

Seems to be working fine with lists…

Are you running the latest version?

Thank you!  That was exactly the problem - I had downloaded it straight from the EE plugin page assuming it would have been the latest version, but it was not (it was 1.1.2).

I’m using 1.3.2 and having the same problem, though very rarely and inconsistently. The following code block:

{exp:trunchtml chars="40" inline="..."}

  <h6>{headline}</h6>
<p>                        <br />
{/exp:trunchtml}    <br />
                        <br />
{exp:trunchtml chars="300" inline="... <a class='inline_link' href='#'>"}<br />
                        <br />
  {body}<br />
                            <br />
{/exp:trunchtml}

...is placed inside an entries loop with the limit set to 2. The first iteration of the loop is flawless. But in the second one, the <h6> isn’t getting closed and the inline ellipse is being placed even on {headline}s which are under 40 characters. Odd. The path in the second iteration is correct in my code, by the way; I removed the argument because this comment mechanism wasn’t rendering it correctly.

Is it possible to PM me the actual contents of the {headline}s and {body}s, so I can recreate this?
