Truncates the title of an article to a given number of characters.



For example:



"This is my title" becomes "This is my ti..."

Can someone post more instructions or details?

Looks like you download it and plop it in the /plugins/ directory then activate it. I'm just guessing though.

can i enable this so that it only applies to certain templates?

How can I do the same for full-story or short-story?

I tried replacing the "title" variable with "full-story" or "short-story" in the plugin but it didn't work.

I don't think that is the same thing, the suggestion appears to be that it will apply to ALL news posts and I need to define by a tag in category specific customisation. Will check it out though.
