Hello Alan,

Hm, currently there is no way to truncate this but I guess what you could do is to apply truncation on his biography. Here's what you can try, edit the file /components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/authors/item.php and at line 100 locate the codes below,

		<div class="eb-authors-bio">

			<?php echo $author->getBiography(false, true);?>

		</div>

Replace it with,

		<div class="eb-authors-bio">

			<?php echo $this->html('string.truncater', $author->getBiography(false, true), 350);?>

		</div>

This will truncate the biography to a max of 350 characters.

Hi Mark, sorry not to replied sooner, but have been away doing other stuff.

Now applied the suggested code, but the effect was not what I expected. I got the idea it would truncate the biog down to 350 characters. What actually happens is that it adds a 'More' link to the bottom of the full Bio. Clicking the link does nothing and it appears to link to javascript:void(0);

Any idea what might be going wrong?

Hi Alan,

Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

You can add the information needed by edit your first post in the Details section or you can just include your site's access once at http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site rather than needing to keep adding them in your replies

I have added the access information to the dashboard as suggested.Note that I use the .htaccess validation, details are included on the dashboard.

Hey Alan,

I've checked in your site, the reason why it didn't work correctly is because your biography content contain those HTML tag.

The only way can achieve this is strip those HTML tag then it will show correctly for the truncation, but it will lost those spaces you added, you can check my video here : http://take.ms/a7K8p

Thank you for spotting the main problem. I have now done a workaround that involves removing the tags from the opening paragraph and reducing the truncation length to 202 characters. That seems to do the trick.as when I click 'More' the rest of the piece shows with the formatted paragraphs.
Now people can see there is a blog without scrolling down!
I will mark this as resolved, so thanks again.

Thanks for updating Alan, glad that your issues are resolved now.
