    Hi there !

    I just wonder why there is an “read more” function when the script posts the whole facebook post in feed ?! Isnt there an option to set the max. textlength for the feed ?

    Do you plan to add an truncate function where we can selsct the maximal length of the efbl_story_text ?

    Does someone have an Idea to add this function, my PHP isnt that good.

    Greetings and thank you !

    Solution:

    replace the code of the line 316 in feed.php from

    echo '<div class="efbl_content_wraper">'.nl2br($story_content).'</div>';

    to

    echo '<div class="efbl_content_wraper">'.substr($story_content, 0, 600).' ...</div>';

    ..wich limits the letters of $story_content to 600 letters.

    Just if someone needs this function till the programer updates his script.

    ..or if you like to keep the nl2br function (wich generates </br> tags) use ths code:

    echo '<div class="efbl_content_wraper">'.nl2br (substr($story_content, 0, 600)).' ...</div>';

    Edit:

    if you want a “read more” function at the end of your text, add this:
    (feed.php line 316)

    echo '<div class="efbl_content_wraper">'.nl2br (substr($story_content, 0, 600)).' ...<a href="'.$story_link.'" target="_blank" class="efbl_read_full_story">WHATEVER YOU LIKE TO READ HERE</a></div>';
