Truncate Ticker

[berto]

I tried look around on the vivvo documentation for a truncate tag but was not successful.

Want to truncate the ticker titles as some are very long... Has the VTE got it's own truncate tag?? i.e |truncate:30

<vte:value select="{article.get_title}" />

Well you can always do something like this:

but if you really wanna go along with the truncate I suggest this:

You know we will make that search button bigger one day :P

Hmm not sure the first will work on the ticker as I previously tried that...

The second option look more promising altought that will shorten all my titles and I only want this on the ticker...

See attached :) If my titles are any longer then that the ticker creates a new line on the next headline that loads :(

Oh forgot to thank you :) apriciated.

No the other option will shorten your titles only if you place this code:


<vte:value select="{article.get_title_short}" />


You are supposed to create a new function not delete the old one.:D
