Char limit in widgets

[Richard.r]

@Bob B is there a way to limit the link titles in the widgets to 30 chars?

the wf framework master setting doesn't affect blocks from this addon

Yes, you will have to edit the template for the specific render.. ie, if its the Recent Items renderer, you will need to edit the nflj_showcase_wf_recent_items template and change the snippet from 40 to 35.

<a class="title" href="{xen:link showcase, $item}">{xen:helper snippet, $item.item_name, 40}</a>

List of the templates associated with [bd]Widget Framework Renderers
nflj_showcase_wf_featured_items
nflj_showcase_wf_popular_items
nflj_showcase_wf_recent_items
nflj_showcase_wf_tabbed_items
nflj_showcase_wf_top_rated_items

I have NO idea what that is. Where is this "master setting"?

 

[Bob]

On the TABBED one, there are multiple places to edit, so make sure you get them all (simple search based on the word snippet should help)

Thanks

ah, ya... those are for specific widgets (his own thread widgets), not globally for any old widget. I prefer to have my own settings instead of piggy backing off of a 3rd party addon... You can (if you want) request that I add a similar setting to the SC widgets.
