@ipstenu : my apoligies, I just curious how Fothery resolving his problem, because its looks similiar with my problem. Nice thread ??

UPDATE : problem solved, I found this at htaccess main root, and disabled it. Its work likes charm now ??

# Protect directories
<Files ~ "^(backup|files|images|include|lang|libs(/.+)?|temp(/.+)?|templates(/.+)?|javascripts(/.+)?)$">

@fothery : Hi, I have similiar problem with you. Can you give a few lines of your htaccess trick please ? Thanks.

I was add a little tricky for bechster code :

<?php
function string_limit_words($string, $word_limit)
{
  $words = explode(' ', $string, ($word_limit + 1));
  if(count($words) > $word_limit) {
  array_pop($words);
  //add a ... at last article when more than limit word count
  echo implode(' ', $words)."..."; } else {
  //otherwise
  echo implode(' ', $words); }
}
?>

So, when your word count more than a limit, you get a … at last article.

Hope it’s usefull.
