    Hello,

    i have installed a new and clean MODx version (MODX Revolution 2.2.1-pl traditional). Additional packages: TinyMCE & Wayfinder & Articles 1.6

    In my html template i use the +latest_comments tag in my sidbar. This tag shows the whole text of the comments. But i want to show only the first sentence. Can i configure it?

    Martin

        OK, the solution is ...

        a new chunk! Name of the chunk: quipLatestComment

        <li class="[[+cls]][[+alt]]">
    <a href="[[+url]]">[[+body:ellipsis=`25`]]</a>
    <br /><span class="author">von [[+name]]</span>
    <br /><span class="ago">[[+createdon:ago]]</span>
</li>
