Just installed EE everything seems clear however I can’t seem to find a solution to automatically trim body text to say 50 characters long, is there a built in function to do this or a plugin?

Done a fair bit of searching to no avail, there seemed to be a plugin called EETrim which is no longer supported which leads me to believe it was maybe shipped with the latest version of EE however I can’t find any documentation.

    TruncHTML is one of the best ones (as it automatically handles closing of html tags):

    Example:

    {exp:trunchtml chars="50" inline="..." ending="<a href='{path=site/comments}'>read on</a>"}
{body}
{/exp:trunchtml}

    http://www.devot-ee.com is always your best friend when searching for EE add-ons 🙂
