Hi all,

I’m trying to come up with the best way to cut off the intro text in JA News Front Page. I was using the “Read More” tag to cut off the preview at the end of the sentence, but ran into a problem. You can see it here:

The “Add Comment” box on the upper right story is from my comments module. I don’t want that to show up, but I also want to be able to cut off the intro text at the end of a sentence.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Dustin

jbrett,
There is a way to cut off at a certain number of words, not letters, but you have to do a little code change…
