Hello,

I am using Drupal 7 rc4 and I wanted to adjust the number of characters displayed in the teaser of my articles presented on the frontpage.

I cannot find the function anymore and searched this site here for an answer. All I found were discussions of the developers where to put this function, but in all areas suggested there I did not find it.

Where have you finally put it into? Was it renamed or something?

Please be so kind as to help me out on this.

Thanks,

Kirsten

I just spent too long looking for this.
For your content type, go to the 'Manage display' tab. There should be a button for "Teaser" (as opposed to "default". Change the format column to "Summary or Trimmed". Click the settings button on the far right side. Set you desired trim length.

I'm sure in D6 there was an option to limit the number of charcters but also settings to stop a word being chopped off. Help please!

D6 core also used characters and not words. If there is something that changes this setting from characters to words it would be a filter module in contrib otherwise you may require a custom module.
