Limit text lenght on post_meta

  • Hi
    I have some custom post type with custom meta boxes. On one of this boxes, I need to limit text length on the archive page.
    I made a google search but I find nothing about that. Any idea?
    Here is my query to get the meta:

    <?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, '_gncom_mbe_bio' ,true) ) : ?>
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, '_gncom_mbe_bio' ,true); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    “_gncom_mbe_bio” is the value for the biography custom meta boxe.
    Here is the website with the custom post type archive page.

    Thanks
    Grégoire

    I’ve found the solution

    First, you create the function:

    function string_limit_words($string, $word_limit) {
  $words = explode(' ', $string, ($word_limit + 1));
  if(count($words) > $word_limit)
  array_pop($words);
  return implode(' ', $words);
}

    Secondo you use the function with a variable in your template:

    <?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, '_gncom_mbe_bio' ,true) ) : ?>
<p class="fiche-atelier">
<?php $extrait_bio = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_gncom_mbe_bio' ,true);
echo string_limit_words($extrait_bio,60);?>
</p>
<?php endif; ?>
