Hi there,
I am using this to limit some entry titles in a sidebar and I am using the following:
{exp:eehive_hacksaw chars = "15" append="..."}{title}{/exp:eehive_hacksaw}
The problem is that is doesn’t always count 15 characters, and will cut off at the end of a work within the 15 characters.
For example:
If my title is: “THE NEW RECREATIONAL”
I would expect the following to be outputted: “THE NEW RECREAT…”
but instead it outputs: “THE NEW…”
Any ideas?

I am also running into this and would like the “chars” function to work like this.
Is there any way to get this to work this way?
Thanks for a great plug-in by the way. We use it all the time.

The CHARS parameter is still not working properly… Any luck on this?

Same issue is happening for me. Did any of you find a fix?

In case you were curious, I added a “break_word” parameter to this plugin which allows you to break right where the char limit shows up, whether in the middle of a word or not.
