Hi

Does anyone know how I can change the number of words/characters of the main text (description) in News_List.aspx? I want to have less words in the news teaser.

Best regards

I found the solution myself. If someone is interested, here is the solution:

Under tha catalog App_Code you have the file Shared_routines.vb. Change the value of Truncate_Count to the number of words you want as a teaser. The value under gives you 20 words before the "read more" link.

Public Module Shared_Routines

Const TRUNCATE_COUNT As Integer = 20

Hello,

Any idea how to mix free text editor with this. I would like to have good artcles with photo and few things in bold and clours, with paragraphs, making this club starter kit articles more elegant.

Currently, we cannot show a paragraph also.All running text shows.

Has anyone implemented this
