Only Displaying the First Ten Words of the Full Description

[LooseDrumSticks]

Hi all,

I'm using an adapted version of 'Only Displaying the First Ten Words of the Full Description', but instead of using it for product description, I want to use it for product name.

Also, I only want the fist 7 words.

It doesn't seem to work, and still shows the full product name without any "...". Does anyone know where I might be going wrong?

<actinic:block php="true" >
$sShort = "";
$nCount = 0;
$sOriginal = '<actinic:variable name="ProductName" />';
foreach(explode(" ", $sOriginal) as $sWord)
{
if ($nCount > 7)
{
$sShort .= "...";
break;
}
$sShort .= $sWord . " ";
$nCount++;
}
echo $sShort;
</actinic:block>

Cheers guys ...

Hi Dave,

This code worked for me when applying it to my Mini Best Seller Layout:

<actinic:block php="true" >
$sShort = "";
$nCount = 0;
$sOriginal = '<actinic:variable encoding="perl" name="ProductName" selectable="false" />';
foreach(explode(" ", $sOriginal) as $sWord)
{
if ($nCount > 6)
{
$sShort .= "...";
break;
}
$sShort .= $sWord . " ";
$nCount++;
}
echo $sShort;
</actinic:block>
