Hello David,

It's not possible to truncate the title from the settings but if you edit the template file, you could use a simple method to truncate the title. The file you should be looking at is at /components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/latest/default.main.php

Locate for the codes below at line 97,

<a href="<?php echo $post->getPermalink();?>" class="text-inherit"><?php echo $post->title;?></a>

Replace it with,

<a href="<?php echo $post->getPermalink();?>" class="text-inherit"><?php echo JString::substr($post->title, 0, 50);?></a>

Where 50 is the maximum characters for the title.

P/S: Please take note that support is not provided for customizations and we are just assisting you out of good faith.

Awesome!!! Thanks so much! Two questions that would really make it PERFECT for me:

1) Instead of truncation by characters - is there a way to do it by number of words?
2) Would there be a way to add an ellipses (...) at the end?

Thanks,

David

Hello David,

Unfortunately that codes which I provide doesn't truncate it by words. If you need ellipses, you need to manually add it in the code

Thank you soooo much

David
