[TYPO3] Random content with limited text

[Eric Thelander]

Hello Peter

Thanks for your help. I used your setup and managed to get the text 
right, cropped and all. But I need the script to also include the image. 
Another thing I would like is to place a link "Read more" after the "..."

Best regards
Eric
