Hi,

I need to limit the number of characters displayed about the article introduction to 120 characters. I had tried this with the shorten method. I have used the following code

{$:item.data_map.resource_introduction.data_text|shorten(120)}

The output is that I dont see any characters if I use shorten. I am using Ez Publish 3.2.4. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this.

Thanks
Mahesh

Thanks & Regards
Mahesh
