   Hi.

   I have a real hard time shortening the_permalink.

   I know that the_permalink outputs straight away, but I've tried building a plugin to shorten it. I've also tried all kinds of substring tricks. But to no avail.

   What I want to do is grab the link to a story that is pulled via rss and shorten that link from:
   http://example.com/i-have-a-real-hard-time-shortening-the-bloody-permalink
   to:
   http://example.com/i-have-a-real-...
   or maybe even - if I get that far - to throw some code at it so it only outputs http://example.com

   Is it in anyway possible to grab it before it outputs or is there a way to grab it and write it to a custom field and then pull it from there?

   Thanks in advance.

   I am also having this same issue - did you ever find a solution?

   Thanks!
