This code does not work, it is there a mistake somewhere?

   {attribute_view_gui attribute=$article.data_map.body|shorten(100)}

i think attribute_view_gui needs and attribute. $article.data_map.body|shorten(100) is not an attribute, only $article.data_map.body is.

so, you better do an override for that attribute view, and do the |shorten(100) on that template.

then in your "main" template it will work if you do {attribute_view_gui =$article.data_map.body}

hope it helps.

Carlos got it partly right, there is one more issue with this.
You are trying to shorten a xml attribute with a string operator, it will just mess up your output. There is a contribution somwhere (on this site or projects) by Xavier that shortens xml content.

Most easy way to do this is to map strip_tags PHP operator to ez operator and use it before shorten.

If your body attribute is just simple text then instead your code just use this:

{$article.data_map.body.content|shorten(100)}

Put this in your template.ini.append.php:

[PHP]
PHPOperatorList[striptags]=strip_tags

and than use it like this for XML attribute:

{$article.data_map.xml_attribute.content.output.output_text|striptags|shorten(100)}
