I need an option for pulled portal news to cut them down to XX chars to prevent that very long postings completly displayed. There should be an admin option in the control panel which allow me to set how much chars of a posting maximum displayed on the portal page.
Wenn reached the limit an intelligent break must be set (on a whitespace before ore after the limit counts) and a continue link should be displayed.
The main problem may be a strict count of all chars. When you do this possible ubb code, links and other not displayed code will be counted too and this can be result in very nasty outputs if the max counter breaks in a picture link or part of a ubb code block. The result can be a complete broken layout.
But a setable limit must be.
