   Hi!

   I have a qustion about an excerpt from a custom field.

   How can I limit the number of words from a text out of a custom field?

   I would like to use this text as kind of excerpt.

   I know how to limit the number of words for the excerpt - but I don't know how to make it work out a custom field - any Idea?

   THANK YOU! :-)

   Got it working: Maybe you may need it: Thanks to the forum:
   

   <?php $trim_length = 450;  //desired length of text to display
   		$custom_field = 'Custom Field';
   		$value = get_post_meta($post->ID, $custom_field, true);
   		if ($value) {
   		  echo rtrim(substr($value,0,$trim_length));
   		}
   		?>
