Hello,

You could always jsut truncate the text to a certain amount of chars.

Have a look in the Text Helper for some nifty functions.

You might also want to look into pagination to create several pages with navigation.

Yea!
..but how?

In article I have: title, author, write_date, content.
Content is a lot of words. How divide it for few pages using pagination. I don't have idea.

using

Code:

function wordcount($str) {
return count(array_filter(explode(' ', $str)));
}
function wordlimiter($str,$start,$end){
$temp = array_filter(explode(' ', $str));
return array_slice($temp,$start,$end);
}

you could split up the article for instance in three parts

Code:

$words = wordcount($row->content);
$partwordsnr = floor($words/3);
$parts = array();
$start = 0;
$end = $partwordsnr;
for($i=0;$i<3;$i++)
{
   $parts[] = wordlimiter($row->content,$start,$end);
   $start = $partwordsnr;
   $end = $count+$partwordsnr;
}

Then in the view you could do something like

Code:

<div class="articlecontent">
&lt;?php foreach($parts as $part){ ?&gt;
<div class="articlepart">&lt;?php echo $part; ?&gt;</div>
&lt;?php } ?&gt;
</div>

It's ruff code but it might give you some idea on how you can accomplish what you want.

update : code mistake

The code i displayed is if the pageparts are shown and hidden using javascript that way you can easily switch between showing the whole article and the cut up version.
