New Plugin: Erskine Text Truncating
The Erskine crew has been publishing some great how-tos and releasing some helpful add-ons of late. Their latest offering to the EE community is the Text Truncating Plugin:
A while ago I posted, on my personal site, a plugin that truncated text in ExpressionEngine without breaking words - it removed html, wrapped it in a specified tag and added some optional link text on the end. It has been revamped and released here under the “Erskine” banner.
There are some great features, like the ability to wrap the truncated text in a markup wrapper, class that wrapper and displaying a “read more” link.
The plugin is PHP 5 only, so be sure to check your PHP version before installing and attempting to use it.
