Hello,

I have on my home page the Activity Stream module. The problem I have is that in many cases, like Kunena posts, it shows the whole post and at the end adds the "read more" link. I need to be able to limit the number of characters or word and then add the read more.

Could anyone be so kind as to help me with this?

Thanx!!

Hi, Pablo.

Where I could see that issue on your site?

- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

- Use the "Thank You" feature on any post that helped you

Hi, Pablo.

Those posts come straight from Kunena.
Please, post on Kunena forum and ask how to modify that.

Hello,

I am having the same problem with Facebook. Is there any way to limit the lenght of the text?

check it here, for example www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/376491/8...b43e5f89dbce26bea194

The main problem is in the Activity Stream, cause I have it in the home page and breaks the order of the mods.
thanks!

Hi, Pablo.

The only way to limit number of text in post is... to upgrade to JomSocial 4.0.8 as this feature is available there :)
Please, check our demo.jomsocial.com to see it in action ;)

Hi

It's rather strange, but looks like this option has been removed from configuration. The only way to do it is to manually change the plugin /plugins/kunena/community/activity.php line 269:

$content = KunenaHtmlParser::parseBBCode($message->message, $parent, $this->params->get('activity_stream_limit', 0));

where the 0 is a number of letters being used in Jomsocial stream.
