I was looking for a similar solution to this, but wanted to limit the category intro text (rather than the item intro text).

The solution was:

Go to your relevant template folder (in this case we'll use default):

/components/com_k2/templates/default

and open category.php

find the following:

<?php if($this->params->get('subCatDescription')): ?>
<!-- Subcategory description -->
<?php echo $subCategory->description; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

and replace with the following:

<?php if($this->params->get('subCatDescription')): ?>
<!-- Subcategory description -->
<?php echo K2HelperUtilities::wordLimit($subCategory->description,30); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

The 30 above is the word limit. Hope this helps

This solution is simply calling an internal function in K2 for enforcing a word limit to any text field output. If you want to limit your introtext, look in the category settings. No need to touch any code.

I got the solution.

When we are showing items from more than 1 category K2 is not showing introText, to handle this issue Manoj has given the solution but I have modified it. Because Manoj Solution also limiting body text to introText when viewing Item.

Step 1. Open file item.php at location \components\com_k2\models\
Step 2. Find following line :

if ($item->params->get('catItemIntroTextWordLimit') && $task == 'category')

Step 3. Replace it with following :

if ($item->params->get('catItemIntroTextWordLimit') && ($view == 'itemlist' && ($task == 'category' || $task == 'user' || $task == 'tag' || $task == 'date' || $task == 'search' || $task == 'itemlist' || $task == '' )))

After this hack K2 will show items from multiple categories with introText and when you will try to see single Item, K2 will show item with fullText.

Since this considered a hack, you need to keep backups of your edited files, and apply this patch every time you update K2.
