[archived] sab_substr

For those looking for another plugin that may work better than this (it did for me) try aam_typogrify. It doesn’t do what this plugin does – making substrings and adding ellipses, but it accomplishes a similar improvement in typographical appearance by preventing “widowed” words (single words on the final line of a title, paragraph, etc…) on any block of text.

I’ll update the help and I’m seriously considering writing a substring plugin that can deal with XHTML properly.

Awesome news. Is it going to a brand new shiny bling bling plugin or update to this? :P

Probably brand new.

I’ve updated sab_substr to correct the help text.

And I’ve written a small plugin that, unlike sab_substr, can cut an XHTML string properly: rvm_substr

Feature request!

Remove characters from the end by using negative numbers. eg. to remove a file extension with Podcast.mp3 as the file name

<txp:sab_substr limit="-4"><txp:file_download_name /></txp:sab_substr>

I’m currently doing this instead if it helps:

<txp:php> $name = $thisfile['filename']; substr_replace($name ,"",-4); echo $name; </txp:php>
