Hi all,
I need little help from you.I want to print content of post but limited portion and after that i show a link "Read More" in end so that it leads to full post detail. But when i use substr() func and use 200 character it prints well but i need to print or need to end substring with full word
example:
Default:
This is my post and when it mak...ReadMore
I need:
This is my post and when it makes...ReadMore
One idea is to use array to store word by word but any idea from you guys!
thanks in advance:

Do your substr, then loop backward, trimming until you reach a word breaking character.

You could always use thge character_limiter function in the text helper
