Hi, since I am putting the most popular links on my home.html inside a table, what's the easiest way to display the long titles if over certain characters with "..." at the end so it fits in the table nicely?

Hi. Something like this should do :)

Hi, that's the post to shorten the description, I am looking for rather to shorten the Title link. The global code for top 10 I am using right now is:

sub {
#Top 10 sites by hits.
my ($output,$sth,$link);
my $id = shift;
my $db = $DB->table ('Links');
$db->select_options ('ORDER BY Hits DESC', 'LIMIT 10');
my $sth = $db->select ( { isValidated => 'Yes'} );
while ($link = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) {
$output .= Links::SiteHTML::display ('top_ten', $link);
}
return $output;
}


I know it's the line around $output needs to be updated... can you help me out real quick? Thanks.

Something like this should work;


I'm off to bed now :)

Hi unfortunately didn't work, it just erases the last word on every link and replace it with ... some logic error somewhere... ?

I added if statement just like the other old post... seems to work now....

sub {

# Top 10 sites by hits.
my ($output,$sth,$link);
my $id = shift;
my $db = $DB->table ('Links');

$db->select_options ('ORDER BY Hits DESC', 'LIMIT 10');
my $sth = $db->select ( { isValidated => 'Yes'} );
while ($link = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) {
if(length $link->{Title}> 26 ){
$link->{Title} = substr ($link->{Title}, 0, 26 );
$link->{Title} =~ s/\s\S+?$//;
$link->{Title} .= " ...";
}
$output .= Links::SiteHTML::display ('top_ten', $link);
}
return $output;
}
