Is this something you'd be willing/able to do?

I'd appreciate it. Jade

See

if you want some specific articles to display for u, then u can make a new category and add those articles in that category..

and then make a content slider widget and select that category only..

so this will fetch only selected articles which u want..


About length of title i have not added any function yet, but

if u want to trim the title..


Open cmsfcs.php file in packages/vbcms/widget

Find

PHP Code:

fetch_trimmed_title(strip_bbcode($getarticles['preview'], false, true, true, true),
            100))); 


Add After it

PHP Code:

$getarticles['title'] = fetch_trimmed_title($getarticles['title'], 30);
