Hi every body,

I want to split the title in the front page of JA SOCIAL template
i founded the title block in the template directory (ja_social.v1.2.1htmlcom_contentfrontpage)

<a href=”<?php echo $this->item->readmore_link; ?>”>
<?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?>
</a>

So, how can i use strln function here ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You can use strln function, and split the title as following:
– On this file, assign title value to a variable, you can split this variable, then “echo” your shorten title as example:


<a href="<?php echo $this->item->readmore_link; ?>">
<?php
/*echo $this->escape($this->item->title);*/
$title_frontend = $this->escape($this->item->title);//assign title value to title_frontend variable.
$count_string = strlen($title_frontend); // count chars of title
$shorten_title = substr($title_frontend, 0, $count_string - 10); //shorten title
echo $shorten_title; // echo my shorten title
?>
</a>

I tried this:

<a href=”<?php echo $this->item->readmore_link; ?>”>
<?php echo substr($this->item->title, 0, 40).’…’; ?>
</a>

and it works, is it a good idea ?
