Hi everyone!
Someone know how to increase the number of characters of "introtext" field ?
I searched a reply via the forum without succes.
Basically my fields "summary" should be able to display 400 characters and I reach only a maximum of 210.
Would it be possible to change the maximum quota? If so by what means?
Thank you in advance.

The "introtext" field is a textarea, and there is no limit of characters on it. You can add as many characters in it.
Ok thanks for your answer but that’s strange, because when I call it with [+summary+] to truncate it that bugs.
I use a custom snippet to do it:
[[truncate? &what=`[+summary+]` &len=`400`]]
<?php
/* ----------
parameters:
$what - text to shorten
$len - desired length of the shortened text
---------- */
if (strlen($what) > $len) {
/* there is a point to truncate */
$what = preg_replace('/^(.{' . $len . ',}? ).*$/is', '$1', $what) . '...';
}
return $what;
?>
Something is wrong in it ?
I appreciate your help.

I think [+summary+] is placeholder for Ditto listings, you can directly use [+introtext+] or [*introtext*] for your custom snippet.
If you are using with Ditto 2x, then make sure you add &extender=`summary` and see the extender’s parameters for setting up the truncate length.
Hope this helps.
Yes it helps ! Thanks a lot
