Hi:
I looked around a bit- in ALL of the Links versions, too- to see if someone had done this, and I did not see anything.... but I thought I would ask and see if anyone had done this yet.
What I was thinking is that I have a lot of fairly long Descriptions- and that is fine. But what I would like, is to make a global tag- call it "short_desc" that would take Description, and if it is longer than XX characters, chop it off. Of course, ideally, it would chop at a white space BEFORE the XX Character limit.
Then, one could use <%short_desc%> on category pages, and the full description on the detailed.
Anyway, andone have anything like that right now, or some ideas where to start?
THANKS!
Dave
