    [CMS] Article preview text length

    what controls the amount of text that is shown in preview.
    example
    Click image for larger version Name: articlepreviewlength.JPG Views: 1 Size: 37.2 KB ID: 3714035

    in the above image the article on teh right only shows 2 lines while the article on the right shows MANY more
    both contain multiple paragraphs of text, so why is the one shorter
    is the setting per section or category? (they are in different categories of the same section)

          The number of characters are hard coded. You can control the length by using the preview break bar.
          You may have one article set to display the entire article.

          Edit: Looking at the image. You probable have the preview break bar set differently for each article.

              I use the preview break in all my articles, but I only get the first 115 characters in the preview section. So I have the exact same problem. The articles that was in the program when I first installed it show more characters in the preview, so there has to be some sort of option for this. I am guessing that it has something to do with the Preview breaker.

                                  This is it. Not worth using because it doesn't work consistently, if ever.

                                      Thanks, that actually works for me... not sure why the automated break isnt more consistent, but so far so good with the break bar... doesnt seem like its working for other people though...

                                                      Has anyone ever figured this out? I have exactly the same problem as the image in the first post.
