kavi kavi	Thursday 18 January 2007 8:47:55 am Hello ! I want to extract 20 characters from my article. I didn't find the syntax for using extract_left with {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.intro} Someone of you know how to use ???? Thanks kavi

Nabil Alimi	Thursday 18 January 2007 9:27:19 am Hi, This won't work since extract_left should be used on a string. You need to apply this directly on the output of the content of your datatype. {$node.data_map.intro.content\|extract_left( 20 )} This means this is incompatible with the attribute_view_gui operator.

kavi kavi	Friday 19 January 2007 12:41:43 am Hi Nabil ! thanks for your quick answer. I've just tried your suggestion. But it doesn't work !!! My code is in the override/templates/listitem/article.tpl <li class="extraitNews"> <h1> <a href={$node.url_alias\|ezurl} title="Lien vers : {$node.object.data_map.title.content\|wash}">{$node.object.data_map.title.content\|wash}</a> </h1> <p>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.intro} </p> </li> If extract_left is incompatible with attribute_view_gui, do you think that i've to modify another template..?! kavi
