Actually, this method should be written up in the Radiant 2009 
Documentation project as a good simple example of bringing in Rails 
methods into Radiant installs - it would help those "entry level" Rails 
programmers who wonder how to bridge the worlds of Rails and Radiant.


Cheers,

You could create a custom Radius tag to wrap around the Rails truncate[1]
method. Something like this might do the trick:

desc %{
  Truncates contents if the number of characters is longer than
@length@(defaults to 30). The last characters will be replaced with
the @omission@(defaults to "...").
}
tag 'truncate' do |tag|
  length = tag.attr['length'] || 30
  omission = tag.attr['omission'] || "..."
  content = tag.expand
  truncate(content, :ommision => omission, :length => length)
end

I haven't tested this, so can't guarantee that it would work!

You could call this as follows:

  
  
  

I hope that helps.

[Radiant] Looking for something similar to summarize extension for truncating content

2009-01-11 Thread Roman Marszalek 
And wondering how it can be most easily acheived.

I'd like to be able to say something like this (obviously not available)



And then it displays the fist 30 characters of the page part.

Anyone know if there's an easy way to achieve this effect.


Thanks,

Roman
