Re: [minesite] Shorten the Title In reply to

Even easier would be to pass the variable in...

Code:
sub {  
   my $length_l = 100; 
   my $value = $_[0] or return "No value...";  
   length $value < $length_l and return $value;   

   my $short = substr ($value, 0, $length_l);  
   $short =~ s/\s\S+?$//;  
   $short .= " ...";  
   return $short;  
}

..and call with;

<%global_name($FieldName)%>

Cheers
