In the K2 Parameters, Content Tab has a field to enter "Item Introtext word limit". Can we also have "Item Introtext word limit on Layout & view options for user (author) pages, Layout & view options for tag listings, Layout & view options for Search & Date listings as well please?

Hi. Thanks for your recommendations. You can also implement this by your own by placing a piece of code like the follwoing in your overrides:

Hi...

Thanks a lot for your reply, but could you please tell me where do I exactly put that code?

I need to do the same for my menu items containing
K2 » Latest items from (one or more) users or categories.


Also I've noticed that if I have a K2 Categories menu with multiple categories it suffers from the same problem :(

Currently they're both ignoring the Introtext word limit I've imposed on my master category.

Take a look at this thread : getk2.org/community/New-to-K2-Ask-here-first/152649-How-Fix---Introtext---Word-limit-for-multiple-categories

and also this article on templating:

I suggest you create a personal template which you can modify and test without messing up the default templates.

That's what I'm currently doing, will report back once I've got it working :)

I solved my problem by:

1. copying the the K2 templates folder to my Joomla folder: templates/myJoomlaTemplate/html/com_k2/
2. Copying the default folder (I called mine blog)
3. I then edited the category_item.php file to have the follwong code for displaying the item introtext:
