Oooooh! Another fabulous helper I just discoverd - ellipsize

Just discovered this in the text helper,

http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/he...#ellipsize

Wow, that has made my 'much too massive' urls suddenly fit beautifully.

It was driving me mad that character_limiter was not working on the urls, and for the life of me I couldn't work it out until I noticed,

" ..It maintains the integrity of words.. "

Amazing how you skim read when you do not think you are. It dawned on me that a url is one word. And like magic the very next note was about ellipsize.

Please don't deprecate the text helper :-)

Note to self: Must take a closer look at all the helpers again!

Just thought I would share,

Best wishes,

Paul.
