Change Intro Text Word Count was created by Uriel

If you go to the URL below, you will see K2 items from the category "Proyectos Realizados"

gradeco.com.co/index.php/proyectos-realizados

The problem here is that the intro text from K2 does not let me show full text.

I want to know where I can change the intro text word count, so it does not gets cut out?

I am using Joomla 1.5.24 with K2 Version 2.5.4

Hello Uriel,

You can remove the word limit from the category's settings.

Where is that?

I went inside categories and there was no word limit but only one number "150"

Even if I eliminate the number "150" the text stays the same.

By the way, there is no cache involved.

In the default template there is no limit. This means that the limit has been hardcoded in the templates.
You can look at category_item.php (most likely) and remove the hardcoded limit.

OK I had to go to /templates/jt015_j15/html/com_k2/templates/portfolio/category_item.php

and change the limitation around line 130

I changed 200 to 400

<?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemIntroText')): ?>
				<!-- Item introtext -->
				<div class="catItemIntroText">
					<?php echo substr($this->item->introtext, 0, 200); ?>
				</div>
				<?php endif; ?>

New code

<?php if($this->item->params->get('catItemIntroText')): ?>
				<!-- Item introtext -->
				<div class="catItemIntroText">
					<?php echo substr($this->item->introtext, 0, 400); ?>
				</div>
				<?php endif; ?>

You can also use echo $this->item->introtext; which will inherit the limit given in K2's category settings.
