Is it possable to set K2 up so that the primary item shows say 500 words but then have all of the secondary items only display like 50 words. Im building a multi author blog and I want to remove some of the control away from them.

Thanks

I quickly looked through category.php and didn't see any easy way to do it since it just calls item_category.php which sets up a template for each item. It's possible, but would take some work. You might be able to modify the divs (#itemListSecondary div) to a certain height and then hide the overflow. I don't use that type of layout so can't say much more. Use firefox with firebug and give it a try.

Thanks Terry, I tried making changes like this through firebug but came up with nothing. I will probably just use the K2_content module to do it.

If you want, give a link to your site and I'll have a look.

Hi Steven,

I am aware of a new k2 template over ride set that may well allow this to happen, I am currently waiting for a final version to be packed for me so that I  can test it.

I believe it wont allow a value to be set in the backend as that would need a mod, but it could be coded in.

Once I have it, I will test it and let you know.
