Reducing the length of the content string in MagpieRSS

Does anyone know how to truncate the content item of an rss feed via MagpieRSS?

I am receiving full feeds but only want to display eg. the first 100 characters of the content (ie. how do I turn a full feed into a partial feed via MagpieRSS?)

eg.

TITLE XYZ 123
CONTENT blah blah blah[...]

instead of


TITLE XYZ 123
CONTENT blah blah blah blah blah

Thanks!

 

find

$desc = $item['description'];

Code (markup):

and change to

$desc = substr($item['description'], 0, 20).'[...]'

Code (markup):

 

Hey thanks for your reply Rosytoes,

The closest match I can find is in this code block:

$feed_link = htmlspecialchars($row['feed_link']);
$feed_title = htmlspecialchars($row['feed_title']);
$feed_description = htmlspecialchars($row['feed_description']);
$item_id = $row['item_id'];
$image = $row['image'];
$item_link = htmlspecialchars($row['item_link']);
$item_title = htmlspecialchars($row['item_title']);
$item_content = fof_sanitize_content($row['item_content']);
$item_content = fof_normalize_content_urls( $item_content, $item_link );

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

I'm not sure if it's $feed_description or $item_content, you need to find the echo statement that gives you your content and then use the substr function on it.
