Couple of Snipped URL Problems
Couple of problems with snipped urls.
1. Does a snipped url cut off only the "http:www" or is it supposed to truncate the entire url? I am having a problem where if I enter a long url it is not getting truncated. Instead it add the entire url (sans the http://www) and blows out my module size. 2. I have also noticed that if I create a snipped url and then assign and name a title in the custom field module, the title (i.e. website) is displayed even if no website is entered. In other custom field types the title does not show. |

Hey Walter - it is supposed to snip off the http://www part to leave more 'guts' of the domain. Im not sure about the other problem - can you consistantly repro and give me access to see/try?

Geek, I'll set something up so you can see what I mean on the title showing.
As for the snipped url, what do you reccommend I do for urls that are larger than the 200px wide module setting? I thought that long urls would look something like this if really long: yahoo.com/longurl...index.html |

Since the domain is the identifying part, I made long urls like bobsmegabutt.com/yafa.asds into bobsmegabutt.com...

SO if I have a snipped url field, it should be truncating long urls like you mentioned? That isn't happening for me:
http://www.prenatalyogacenter.com/fo...read.php?t=173 If the url is longer than this it still shows all the info. |

Just as an FYI for any others that may have this problem - the Maximum Length setting is a bit misleading... That is actually the amount of characters to show. IN this case it was set to 200, hence the long URL... I shortened it to 20 and it works like a charm.
Ill look at making that a bit more obvious in the future. HTHs |

Whilst on the subject of snipped url's .... is there anyway of removing it and just showing the www. whatever url .com as I'm not overly keen on it missing the www. it just looks messy - personal preference of course.
Cheers! Jason
