Support » Plugin: W4 Post List » Shorten Title in List View

  • Hello,
    i’m building a games guides site and i have a list of all guides for each game on the right. While i need the games name in the main title, i don’t want it in the list since it’s just taking too much space.

    My programming skills are pretty limited. I tried around with PHP and “strlen” but didn’t really know where and how to apply it right. Maybe there’s even a way to do this directly in the “Template” window of “W4 Post List”.

    Would be amazing if someone with more know how could help me out :).

    Here’s a pic to make it more clear.

    There’s a simple solution for this. Use custom fields to store the game name with each post. Ex: game_name.

    Then you can simply display the custom field value using our plugin, while linking to the original post.

    Template would be something like –

    <ul>
    [posts]
    <li><a href="[post_permalink]">[post_meta key='game_name']</a></li>
    [/posts]
    </ul>

    Thanks.
