CMS article preview length.

[Team_RCRR]

Does anyone know of any way to make the preview of articles on the CMS longer? Mine seem way too short.

the line break button on the wysiwyg editor - the thing with the big red line.

What red line!?

Took me a while to figure it out. I was using Opera and did not show the red line. Switched to IE and found it. So for those of you, like me who couldn't find that darn red line, switch over to IE and you will see it.

Edit your article via main page UI and click on the pencil to edit the article.

once you are inside, select the maximum text you want show on your article.

Look to the top with all of those icons and select the bottom-right side and you will see an icon that looks like a page with a small red line. then it is inserted into your page.

Save and then publish via cpadmin.

thx, do u also know how i get a thumbnail as a preview on my blog.

There is no option for that and it looks much better with an image preview.

btw, does it happen to u that some images that were uploaded are just huge?

I've tried everything I can think of to control the amount of content being displayed in the "preview" mode of my articles that appear when I display a section.

I've tried the PRBREAK thing and it doesn't matter where I put it, it has no effect at all.

I'm using 4.03 and was wondering if anyone had any other ideas as to how I could control the length of my articles under the section display.

Thanks ..

It's important for how we use our site, so can anyone able to help me with the problem described above, or is it simply a BUG in VB4?

Thanks ..

Have you tried setting a height and width for the image size? Here's a link to the bbcode syntax.

OOps, that isn't the same bbcode implemented in vB; sorry.

That's great, thanks! Anyone else think it's a problem that the "..." ends up on the next line instead of following the paragraph flow?
