Hey guys, developers,
How do I limit the displayed words (e.g. 20 words) in the groups overview?
Have tried this code in functions.php of child-theme:
COPY CODEif ( ! function_exists( 'kleo_excerpt' ) ) { function kleo_excerpt( $limit = 20 ) { $excerpt = explode( ' ', get_the_excerpt(), $limit ); if ( count( $excerpt ) >= $limit ) { array_pop( $excerpt ); $excerpt = implode( " ", $excerpt ) . '...'; } else { $excerpt = implode( " ", $excerpt ) . ''; } $excerpt = preg_replace( '<code>\[[^\]]*\]</code>', '', $excerpt ); return '<p>' . $excerpt . '</p>'; } }Hi,
You can try with the following code. Please insert this code to the functions.php in Kleo child theme.COPY CODE// limit group description length function my_excerpt_group_description( $description ) { $length = 20; $description = substr($description,0,$length); return $description; } add_filter( 'bp_get_group_description', 'my_excerpt_group_description');then save the file and refresh the page. If you want more functionality for handling group descrioption, You can give this plugin a try. It will definitely get the job done. But unfortunately it is a paid plugin. If you have any question, please feel free to ask me anytime.
Thanks.Hi there!!! Help others from the community and mark any reply as solution if it solved your question. Mark as a solutionHi Kamal,
Thanks, but this is about the description of a group.
What I want is a modification in the group overview description, e.g. group masonry.
When you hit “Groups Overview” in your menu you will see an overview of your created groups with description. I want to limit the description to 20 words to save space.Any idea?
Hi,
Your problem is completely related to buddypress plugin as buddypress plugin outputs the excerpt for the group description. So you can get best solution if you ask about your problem in their forum. However, if you can afford buying a plugin, then the previous plugin will definitely get the job done. and you can also try with following code. I found this on buddypress forum.COPY CODEfunction bp_excerpt_group_description( $description ) { // your exceprt code $length = 30;// change it to whatever length you prefer $description = substr($description,0,$length); return $description; } add_filter( ‘bp_get_group_description_excerpt’, ‘bp_excerpt_group_description’);Thanks,
