Case Study – Truncating text field using XSLT in DataView Web Part

niamhck — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:56:00 +0000

Thanks to Shaun O’Callagahan who sent me a link to his blog and this post that I found at sharepoint Kevin’s blog - http://www.sharepointkevin.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=14

I managed to edit the XSLT in Sharepoint designer to truncate the text field of a Data View Web Part so that the main body of my News article is limited to 250 characters enabling me to create a web part for a home page using SharePoint Designer that only shows some of the body with a link to the full article at the end.

Thanks guys, your help is much appreciated!
