    Hi all

    I really like the EXCERPT field and want to encourage customers to write something into that field. But my add-listing page doesn’t show it (PremiumPress demo doesn’t either).

    In case the first 200 characters of the normal description are displayed instead, can I do something that the text isn’t cut off in the middle of the word? I know php can do that but I don’t know where to put it:
    [code title=””]<?php
    $text = $fieldsObjects[‘field_text’]->data; // using the raw value of the text
    if( strlen( $text ) < 200 ) {
    echo $text; // if less than 200 chars, show the entire text
    } else {
    $cut_text = substr( $text, 0, 200 ); //cut at 200 chars
    $last_space = strrpos( $cut_text, ” ” ); //find the position of the last space in the 200 chars text
    $short_text = substr( $cut_text, 0, $last_space ); //cut again at the last space
    $end_text = $short_text.”…”; // add three dots
    echo $end_text;
    }
    ?>
    [/code]

    Thanks a lot!
