Want to Reduce Character Limit of Post Title in Archive Page

[kovair]

Hi,

Could you please help me get rid of displaying long post titles in the archive page as shown here http://dev.kovair.com/category/white-papers/.

I understand that the post title on Archive page is being fetched from the individual post. So, is there a way I can set a character limit for the post titles on Archive page?

Please help me with the solutions.

Thanks
Sanat

Sanat,

You will need to modify the file framework/functions/post-functions.php at line number 19 to insert this elseif condition –

    elseif (is_archive())
        $title = '
'.  mo_truncate_string(get_the_title(), 20) . '
';

and you method mo_get_entry_title() should finally look like –

function mo_get_entry_title() {
    global $post;

    if (is_front_page() && !is_home())
        $title = the_title('
', '
',
            false);
    elseif (is_singular())
        $title = the_title('
', '
', false);
    elseif (is_archive())
        $title = '
'.  mo_truncate_string(get_the_title(), 20) . '
';
    else
        $title = the_title('
', '
', false);

    /* If there's no post title, return a default title */
    if (empty($title)) {
        if (!is_singular()) {
            $title = '
' . __('(Untitled)',
                    'mo_theme') . '
';
        }
        else {
            $title = '
' . __('(Untitled)', 'mo_theme') . '
';
        }
    }

    return $title;
}

Hope this helps.
