Hi,

I'm using myalbum module. I got a long description of a photo in $photo.description. I would like to truncate it if longer than 100 chars, so edited the myalbum_photo_in_list.html template:

....

<{if strlen($photo.description)>100}>
short descr:
<{substr($photo.description,0,100)}>
<{else}>
<{$photo.description}>
<{/if}>
...


but it's not working, the if clause is correctly evaluated, as 'short descr:' is printed out, but the substr isn't working.

Any help?
Tomas

You can replace all of your code with:

<{$photo.description|truncate:100:'...'}>
