Hi laurent,

Have you tried with wash() operator?

{$node.object.data_map.intro.content.output.output_text|wash(  xhtml )|shorten( 50 )}

Hi Laurent,

You should strip the tags if you want to use the shorten tag with XML content. Some info on how to do so can be found here:

Cheers,

Hi Bård,

That's what I did previously.
I override template.ini in the override directory.
template.ini.append.php :

<?php /* #?ini charset="iso-8859-1"?

PHPOperatorList[]
PHPOperatorList[striptags]=strip_tags

*/ ?>

and add in mysite/override/templates/listitem/article.tpl

<div class="attribute-short">     {$node.object.data_map.intro.content.output.output_text|striptags|shorten( 50 )}
</div>

It works fine but without formatting text or image in the shorten string.

Laurent.

in fact with this code

{$node.object.data_map.intro.content.output.output_text|striptags|shorten( 50 )}

it cut the string but preserve formatters:

<div class="attribute-short">
<p>
Le projet de réaménagement du club house p...
</div>

What I understand that the |wash operator render the <p> tag as text but didn't remove it.

Laurent,

if you have XML text it's hard to convert it to a limited number of characters without removing the formatting. So you should just use the strip tags followed by a shorten operator. Formatting and images will be gone, just the plain text is left.

You are correct, the wash() operator does only convert HTML specific characters like <, > and & to &gt; and so on.
