    Hi,

    I´m making my first site with MODx, and I´ve made a basic blog using Ditto.

    My blog page shows the 4 latest blog posts, with title, summary and link to full post.

    The problem is that my design uses a fixed length, and depending on how long the summary texts are it may or may not display a scroll bar. I do not want a scrollbar to appear, but simply setting overflow=hidden will of course hide part of the contents of the page.

    Is there a way to either specify a max length that ditto should use when showing summaries, or a way to use paginate so that when a blogpost brakes the width of the container it moves it to the next page?

    Any help would be most appreciated!

      Take a look at using the summary extender or PHx.
