How to do to appear only "x" letters in article links?

Example:
Only 30 caracters

The original titles are:
- "Michael Jordan is on fire, but chicago bulls loose".
- "Chicago Bulls loose the championship on the last minute".

The desired result is:
2005/02/23 - Michael Jordan is on fire, but ...
2005/02/24 - Chicago Bulls loose the cham ...

is it possible change the second variable in this tag by something more dynamic ? for example CURRENT how is it in menu ?

because than i need only one implementation of tag in the template for all the web.

That's what i'm waiting for soo loooong

It has been there for long too ... didn't see this post before

look into config/phpwcms/conf.template_default.inc.php
find // new articles (around line 223)

Code: Select all

// new articles
$template_default["news"]["before"]			= '<div class="news">';
$template_default["news"]["after"]			= '</div>';
$template_default["news"]["link_before"]	= '<p>';
$template_default["news"]["link_after"]		= '</p>';
$template_default["news"]["link_symbol"]	= '';
$template_default["news"]["link_target"]	= '';
$template_default["news"]["link_length"]	= 0; //if 0 no limit

The ["link_length"] gives you that you can put 30... or whatever.

Code: Select all

$template_default["news"]["link_length"]	= 30; //if 0 no limit

It's an different thing what I want!

Let's say you have category NEWS with 5 articles in it:

+ NEWS
++ article 1
++ article 2
++ article 3
++ article 4
++ article 5

If you use this RP like a menu (like i do) when you go page 2 (article 2)
you should get the same menu but with current link in different style

+ NEWS
++ article 1
++ article 2
++ article 3
++ article 4
++ article 5

You know how to do it? post here and you be my hero (kidding)

sorry, my bad (broke my glasses yesterday <-- funny part is that it's true ...

Well, as for the RT used as menu... mmmm...

1) half a solution: maybe just a:link with css... but that would apply to all the page, except if u put a special a with a class to your menu, then at least it would highlight the article you clicked on (but it's half a solution because if u click more then one, you have 2 a:linked highlighted).

Maybe...
2) I thought about this before because I stummmmbled on the same thing, so what I thought is a bit complicated but might work (but never did it and maybe there's an easier solution): a little php code that gets the url, something like $QUERY_STRING then compare this string (var1) to the a href of your link(var2). If var1 = var2 then apply another css if not, do nothing. Off course, in order to get this working we have to modify function get_new_articles in front.func.inc.php ... anyway not an easy job but ... possible, if I try I'll spend hours and hours on it (maybe finding a solution) but honestly my php skills are too few to be of a real help. Maybe some guys here can do that or have better solutions?
So, I guess I won't be your hero

Good luck
Cheers

Sorry for your glasses.
I really hope someone develop an RT for this purpose! I think it's very usefull for sub article navigation. Don't you?
