[SOLVED] Ditto: maximum length of characters from post (no summary)

Nope, but TVs. Might have something to do with it.

Ditto has phx built in, no need to install the plugin. If you’re using Richtext type TVs, then the force_root_block setting for the TinyMCE used for these will add <p>...</p> tags. You may also be getting them if your TVs have an output widget assigned to do that.

I see. I removed the installed plug-in and now there’s no longer an extra <p></p>. Isn’t that a bit odd?
Thanks to both you guys.

I wouldn’t be surprised at anything the phx plugin did. I never use it. But that’s only my personal preference.

1) Download and install PHx
2) Go to Elements > Manage Elements > Snippets > New Snippet, and add the following:
Snippet name: phx:character_limit
Snippet code (php):

<?php
if (strlen($output) > $options) {
      $output_cutted = substr($output, 0, $options);
      $last_space = strrpos($output_cutted, " ");
      $output = substr($output_cutted, 0, $last_space) . "";
      }
      return $output;
?>

3) Save and Close the Snippet
4) Go to your Ditto template and add something like this:

<p>[+introtext:character_limit=`360`+]</p> 

As you can see the original Placeholder was [+introtext+], so I’ve just added this code ":character_limit=`360`" inside.

I need this solution and tried what you said. When i use "phx:character_limit" as snippet name, it says "Snippet name is invalid". What am I doing wrong? :-S

I get this error on my homepage:

Fatal error: Class ’PHxParser’ not found in /home/ivxtopmb/domains/blabla.bla/public_html/modx/core/cache/elements/modplugin/3.include.cache.php on line 24

That suggestion would not apply to Revolution. With Revo placeholder tags look like [[+placeholder]]. I know Revo has phx functionality built-in, but I don’t know how it works.

Interesting. So I don’t have to use PHx at all? Does anyone know how to use the PHx library in Revolution then?
