[TYPO3-mvc] new feature proposal: f:format.crop returns whole if set to 0

[Stefano Cecere]

hi,
i see that the .crop function hasn't an option to NOT crop

i often need to set it to "NOT CROP" anything, without major changes in  
TS, or Fluid templates.

i could easily get this option, for example if the crop value is set to 0,  
modifying file  
~/Sites/typo3_src-4.5.2/typo3/sysext/fluid/Classes/ViewHelpers/Format/CropViewHelper.php
with a simple condition:

		if ( $maxCharacters > 0 ) {
			if ($respectHtml) {
				$content = $this->contentObject->cropHTML($stringToTruncate,  
$maxCharacters . '|' . $append . '|' . $respectWordBoundaries);
			} else {
				$content = $this->contentObject->crop($stringToTruncate,  
$maxCharacters . '|' . $append . '|' . $respectWordBoundaries);
			}
		} else {
			$content = $stringToTruncate;
		}




in this way, for example in a fluid tempalte with
<f:format.crop maxCharacters="{settings.cropLength}"  
respectWordBoundaries="true">{newsItem.bodytext}</f:format.crop>

we just need to set settings.cropLength = 0, and you got the full bodytext


what do you think?
