Hey, Greate snippet, it works great! I just want to control the number of characters to be displayed in [+content+], I want to place it somewhere on my right column. Any help? Thanks. grin

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

[+content:notags:word_limit=`55`+]

word_limit:

<?php
$retval = $output;
$array = explode(" ", $output);
if (count($array)<=$options)
{
$retval = $output;
}
else
{
array_splice($array,$options);
$retval = implode(" ", $array);
}
return $retval;
?>

The snippet has been updated on Oct 30 -- latest version on my site has required feature for truncation comment’s content built-in. Simply download fresh copy and read explanation on new parameters.

Yoohoo! Works great! Just go to line 82:

$trunc = isset($trunc) && $trunc ? $trunc : 0;

and change $trunc : number-of-characters;

Thank you very much! grin

Do not change anything, simply call the snippet as

[[LatestComments? ... &trunc=`number-of-characters` ...]]

Hi guys! I’d like to add some .css to the date. Now I have 2010-11-10 but I want something like this:

Now I have it like this:

<div class="date">[+createdon+]</div>
<div class="poster"><a href="[+jcf_website+]">[+jcf_name+]</a> on</div>
<div class="link"><h5><a href="[~[+doc_id+]~]">[+doc_pagetitle+]</a></h5></div>

and this is the output:

Nov-10-2010
Default admin account on
Post 3

Actually my problem is how to add a
or something like that to Nov-10-2010

$dateFormat = isset($dateFormat) && $dateFormat ? $dateFormat : 'Y-m-d';

Thanks.

You can use just about any characters you please in the formatting string:

Unrecognized characters in the format string will be printed as-is.
...
You can prevent a recognized character in the format string from being expanded by escaping it with a preceding backslash. If the character with a backslash is already a special sequence, you may need to also escape the backslash.

So something like this should work; the CSS in your little block should break the text on the whitespaces nicely:

'M j Y'

Or this might even work (add more escape backslashes if necessary);

'M<b\r />j<b\r />Y'
