Hello there
Can anybody help me with this?
I am retriving information from a database. This information goes into a news feed. my problem is hat I display a taster of the latest news on the front page of the news feed and from there, clicking on some links, one can read the full article.
How could I set this up so I limit the number of caracters to be displayed on the front page and if the string is longer that this limit I cut it and then find the next empty space and add a link to the full article.
thanks
rafa
