#12 Limit amount of text shown by default per article on front page
Opened by jflory7. Modified

Summary

If an author or editor forgets the "Read More" tag, a longer article can accidentally take up the entire page. To help prevent any one article dominating the home page, a character / content limit (maybe 500 characters / 50-100 words?) would be extremely helpful.

Description

This is something I've always done manually, but since we're looking at on-boarding some new editors in light of my absence this summer, it would be helpful for the theme to compensate and have a limit on how much content is displayed from any one article (just like how it works on the Magazine theme). I'm not sure how to do it or what the requirements are, but it would be valuable to have this be a part of the theme.


@ryanlerch Do you think this is something you might be able to do before mid-May? It would be awesome if we could get a new version of the CommBlog theme deployed by then. :)
