    Hello,
    i’m using Connections with Profile template.
    I’m looking in templates/profile/card.php at line <?php echo $entry->getBioBlock(); ?>

    I’d like to limite the number of characters to show in biography in my front page to 100 (in order to get a similar presentation for each one), then add a text link “read more” to show the full bio on the same page (not using single page per member)… Is that possible ?

    I guess i should trick <?php echo $entry->getBioBlock(); ?> with some php code, i’ve tried using substr method with no success.

    Thanks for helping.
    If that works it should be great !

    Change $entry->getBioBlock(); to $entry->getExcerpt( array( 'length', 100 ) );. That should do it. Hope that helps!
