Increase Group Excerpt Limit

Hi,
This code added to sweetdate-child/functions.php modifies the length of the excerpt:

// group custom excerpt
add_filter( 'bp_excerpt_length', 'kleo_my_custom_group_excerpt');
function kleo_my_custom_group_excerpt($length)
{
	return 225;
}

Modify the 225 length to whatever you want

Also you need to add this css to Sweetdate – Styling options – Quick css to disable the limited height:

#groups-list .search-body {height:auto;}

I am trying to add length to the group excerpts on the Group Directory page. I tried the above code in my sweetdate-child/functions.php file and it did not work. Is this code still valid?

I am also modifying the group-loop.php file in my sweetdate-child/groups folder. Can I set the excerpt length here (around line 37)?

<div class=”item-desc”><?php bp_group_description_excerpt(); ?></div>

I’ve tried the above code and it isn’t working for me. In Firebug it looks like the function adds space to the div class=”item-desc” but I can’t make the excerpt appear with more than 2 lines. I can reduce it down to nothing with your code but cannot add to the excerpt.
Here is the site if you want to take a look: http://www.uberon.net/groups

Is it possible to edit the groups-loop.php to adjust the excerpt length?

<div class=”item-desc”><?php bp_group_description_excerpt(); ?></div>

Hi, I have added above a css rule that disables the height limit: https://archived.seventhqueen.com/forums/topic/increase-group-excerpt-limit#reply-4007
