I have figured this out under the Latest list, but I have a bunch of my categories listed via a tag then by the actual category. I am using a substr command to limit how much text can be displayed during the list, but I cannot find the actual PHP for this for tags. Looking at the source of the page, the div is referencing 'genericItemIntroText'. Anybody have a clue where I can look to make this change?

bump?

I know it's been quite awhile since the last post for this thread, but I found the topic via a Google search. I'm wanting to know how to do this as well.

 

How do you limit the items to a certain amount of intro text under tag listing? The default tag listing displays the whole article, which is not what I want it to do. I'd like the tag listing to display only a certain number of words or characters. Thanks!

Could someone please assist with this inquiry? There's got to be an easy way to do something like this.

Try line 80 of components/com_k2/templates/generic.php

If it works put it back and put the edit in the k2 override directory of your template

Thanks for the reply, William.

 

I found the file, but I'm not familiar enough with PHP to make changes to that file. Is it possible that you, or someone else here could try to edit, test it out, then post the code?

Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

I'm beginning to wonder if this can even be set for the tag listing.

Hi I came across this solution somewhere on this site but cant remember where.

Here is an example of what I found. May not be quite right but I am able to limit the intro text in tag view.

In generic.php as William said around line 80, try using this. Notice the uncommented <?php /* echo $item->introtext; */?> in line 4 in case I want to revert.


<?php if($item->params->get('genericItemIntroText')): ?>        <!-- Item introtext -->        <div class="genericItemIntroText">          <?php /* echo $item->introtext; */?>        </div>        <?php echo K2HelperUtilities::wordLimit($item->introtext,30); ?>        <?php endif; ?>

Thanks for the reply, Josh! Can you provide a link to your site before I go any further? Thanks again!
