    Truncating

    Hello All,

    I am using the following code to create content:

    var home = Model.Content.AncestorsOrSelf("Home").First();

    var blogs= home.Descendants("Blog").First();

    var items = blogs.Descendants("BlogPost").Where(x => x.GetPropertyValue("blogPostCategory").Equals("Funny"));

     

     

    @foreach (var item in items.Skip((page - 1) * pageSize).Take(pageSize).OrderBy("CreateDate desc"))

    {

    @item.GetPropertyValue("blogPostContent")

    }

     

    This code works great and now I want to truncate some of the content I am feeding out.

     

    How can i truncate : @item.GetPropertyValue("blogPostContent") so that it displays only the first 200 characters?

     

    When i do:

    Umbraco.Truncate(@item.GetPropertyValue("blogPostContent"), 200)

     

    I get the error "some invalid arguements".

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Kind regards,

     

    J

    Hi James,

    What if you are trying something like this:

    @(Umbraco.Truncate(item.GetPropertyValue("blogPostContent"),200,false));

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    This code works . I made a substring.

    @item.GetProperty("blogPostContent").Value.ToString().Substring(0, @item.GetProperty("blogPostContent").Value.ToString().Length < 200 ? @item.GetProperty("blogPostContent").Value.ToString().Length : 200)
