How to trunc a template variable?

I am using ditto to display products with multiple text-areas (I use tv’s for this) and I need to trunc these tv’s.

How can I trunc a template variable that is used within a ditto template?

Hi,

you can use the limit phx modifier in you ditto tpl

[+tvToTrunk:length:gt=`75`:limit=`75`+]

:-)

Thanks, that works

I now use this:

[+opmerkingen:length:gt=`200`:then=`[+opmerkingen:limit=`200`+]{{ditto_leesmeer}}`:else=`[+opmerkingen+]`+]

It truncates the text and shows a "read more" link when needed, else it just show the full text

old post but very helpful right now!!!
