Hello,
I am reading the documentation on HTMLText useage in a template (http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=htmltext), and was wondering if I can combine some of the different displays.
For example, what if I wanted to display the first 10 words, but strip out all HTML. Could I use something like
$Content.NoHTML.LimitWordCount(10)
What I am finding, by just using the LimitWordCount, is that bold text is appearing with a ** around it, which I'd like to avoid for this display.
Nope, you can't chain these commands in the template. Workaround: Make a custom controller method, e.g.
function ContentNoHtmlLimitWordCount() {
$content = $this->obj('Content')->NoHTML();
return $content->LimitWordCount(10);
}
Ugly, but does the job...
I've added a ticket describing a fix that will make it easier to change NoHTML and LimitWordCount - http://open.silverstripe.com/ticket/3728
