Hi folks!
I have tried to lure out how to manage to limit the content/body/text without sucess.
Is it possible to limit how big the size of the content should show in frontpage (content block)?
For example:
Instead of showing 5000 word in the front page content I want to limit it to only show 500 as summmary, and then the user need to click on the title to go to its node with the full 5000 word.
Eg.
Frontpage:
TITLE
orem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent tempus pellentesque ligula non adipiscing. Pellentesque quis lorem odio, sed euismod enim. Vestibulum placerat ligula sagittis dui vestibulum et ornare sapien commodo. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Pellentesque at est malesuada ipsum pretium cursus. Aliquam bibendum interdum urna, in auctor augue pretium et. Vestibulum congue eleifend malesuada. Pellentesque tincidunt, augue vel vehicula auctor, ante lacus consectetur purus, rutrum pretium lectus nunc at felis. Fusce justo erat, viverra a sollicitudin semper, euismod non sapien. Ut et nisi in nibh semper ornare. Suspendisse et eros nulla, vel hendrerit metus. Quisque id orci eu libero aliquet congue. Fusce suscipit tincidunt nunc at fringilla. Aliquam diam augue, consectetur volutpat laoreet eu, commodo quis orci. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.

That's default drupal behavior. The abbreviated content is called a 'teaser' and you can set the size at admin/content/node-settings using the 'length of trimmed posts' setting.

Thanks, but is it possible to disable to show trimmed post settings in the preview screen*? it kind of confuses members with low computer skills...

That's an entirely different question-- sorry I have no clue. I would think it involves some sort of http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_form_alter/6 foo in a custom module though.
