Wanting to extend project titles on home page showcase

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if someone could help me track down whatever code it is that makes project titles in the computer showcase automatically cut off after a certain character count? A lot of our titles are too long for the current character count, and I’d like them to be displayed in full 🙂

    Thanks everyone!

    Okay just solved this, with the fun new upshot that now text gets cut off by the extremities of overall navigation up there. I also now understand why the character count limit was in the template in the first place 😛
    For anyone interested <h1 class=”mantle”><?php echo sc_string_limit_chars( get_the_title(), 20 ); ?></h1> is the line you’re looking for it homepage.php

    Now if I can just expand the text cut offs, if anyone has any ideas I’d love to hear them 🙂

    I’m sure four months later you don’t really need this anymore, but for anyone else with a similar problem – I just reduced the font size for the title. You can edit in the style.css file. Find this line: 

    body.page-template-homepage-php #mantle h1 {
	font-family: 'LeagueGothicRegular';
	font-weight: lighter;
	font-size: 40px;
	margin-top: 18px;
	text-transform: uppercase;

}

    And I changed the font-size to 20px. Worked for my purposes after I adjusted the character count limit.

    @daijoubu,

    I’ve done it by removing second argument.
