[TYPO3-project-formidable] How to use data.fixed_lgd(nbchars, "...") ?

[Luc Muller]

Hello Ian

You better should call the function this way : {title.fixed_lgd("10", 
"...")}

It should work. by the way, it works on our server.

Be sure, the data you're cropping is not plain html. as tags can be cutted.

If you want to crop HTML data just add a striptags before

{title.striptags().fixed_lgd("10", "...")}

Another method for this exists thus is easier to remember : 
{title.substr("10", "...")}
