Ok.. that was the xml file...
now:
Create a template over ride for the Category listing (in my case)
So where it would be?
I tought in :
components/com_k2/templates/default/category_item.php but i cannot find the code:
< ?php if($params->get('itemIntroText')): ?>
< ?php echo $item->introtext; ?>
< ?php endif; ?>
please help

i have found something in Root\components\com_k2\models\item.php
It's not the exact line of code but this:

if ($view=='item'){

if ($item->params->get('itemIntroText'))
$item->text.= $item->introtext;
if ($item->params->get('itemFullText'))
$item->text.= '{K2Splitter}'.$item->fulltext;
}
else {

switch($task){
case '':
case 'category':
if ($item->params->get('catItemIntroText')) $item->text.= $item->introtext;
break;

case 'user':
if ($item->params->get('userItemIntroText')) $item->text.= $item->introtext;
break;
default:
if ($item->params->get('genericItemIntroText')) $item->text.= $item->introtext;
break;
}

}



and now i am lost...

The link is not working. Can anyone help me fix the Character Limit to display in the Latest Item (k2_content) module for each article please?

@kchinnapparaj

Are you using the latest version of K2? What's the issue you are facing?

Hello, I am interested in this solution, but the discussion is a bit old and I can not find the file to download. Can you help? Thank you!

how weird that there isn't an option for this after all these years.... I need it, along with 1000's of other.

There is the option to set the limit for the introtext. If you need it to the title, for example you could use something like

<?php echo K2HelperUtilities::wordLimit($item->title, 30); ?>
