Hi,

Forgive me if this has been discussed before but i would like to limit my intro text in the item category view. I know I can limit intro text by word count however I would like to limit by character count.

As you know k2 can also strip html tags from the intro text which is good. I am however having a problem with this when it comes to thetag. Is there a way to replace that tag with a space in the intro text?

Does anyone have a code snippet I can use that will limit the category item intro text by character count and replace thetag with.

I assume I will need to replace a block of code in the html override file category_item.php. If anyone knows how to accomplish the above, could you show the code that needs to be replaced and the replacement code.

I understand this will most likely cause the "Introtext word limit" in "Item view options in category listings" to stop working but thats ok.

Thanks

Hello, the word/character limit will strip all tags.
This is nothing that can be changed. You way try to replace all the <br/> tags prior to applying a limit with PHP's str_replace php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php

You can find an example here: www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/17656-parameter-for-maximum-caracter-in-the-title#62142
