Hi all i have a few questions about some things in wordpress. 1. Anyone know how to make it so the titles shown on the sidebar in wordpress only show a certain length.? example "this is an example of a really long title that seems to go on and on an on even so yes this is a real long title." to "this is an example of a really long ..." 2. How can i limit the amount of spaces allowed in the title, when a user posting a article in wordpress ? 3. Is there a search page plugin for wordpress, that i can get for my site? so a user can click on a link and get taken to a "search" page. So they can have some advanced searching capabilities. Like search by category or archive or whatever. Ok, i guess that's about it for now. thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
I'll give you an answer, but before that; which title tag you use in sidebar ? if it is the_title(); you can set the lenght with this codes: $title = get_the_title(); $newtitle = substr(0, 30, $title); // it takes first 30 characters for your title echo $newtitle; PHP:
in sidebar it uses <td><h4> - <font color=#AA0001><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4></td> where would i add that code? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Also as per my earlier question... "How can i limit the amount of spaces allowed in the title, when a user is posting a article in wordpress ?" This way i wont need to limit in each theme file. If i can limit the amount of spaces allowed in the title when an article is being posted. This will solve my problem in the beginning. thx
