Hey all,
was curious if anyone has had experience with limiting the amount of text
pulled from a database and placing a link and the end of the excessive text
line.
ie. the description of a product could be 800 characters long, how can it be
shortened to 50 -100 characters with a link to "read more" at the end. I was
fiddling with strlength and an if else statement, but i cant really get
things happenin. Any and all help would greatly be appreciated.
Regards
