Hey,
Was just wondering if your script had the ability to "cut" news posts if they are over a certain length.
For example alot of sites display the start of a news post, but once it reaches say 200 words cuts it to a link with "read full story" which would take you to the rest of the news post.

Is it possible to do this with your script? Other then that it seems like a great script :)

Thanks,

John

Have you installed the script yet? ;)

Indeed it does have this feature. Actually, it has two features that allow for limiting the length of the post.

1. You can limit by length. If the length is exceeded, the script cuts the post and displays a read more link (which can be customized on the templates page).

2. You can limit by a special keyword. For example, the default keyword is [BREAK ARTICLE]. If this is encountered, then the story will break there and insert a read more link (it can also be customized on the templates page). The keyword can also be changed.

Both features can also be used together.
