  What widget plugin are you using?

    Kyle Hungate says:

    It is a widget that was included with the Wootheme (Whitelight) called "Feedback".

    I don't see a way to do it without editing the widget code.

    You could do it with a bit of javascript...

    Try this JS (untested)
    
    

    
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
    
        var code_2_sample_full_desc = $("blockqote.feedback-text").text()
    
        var code_2_sample_short_desc = $("blockqote.feedback-text").text()    // get the text within the div
    
            .trim()    // remove leading and trailing spaces
    
            .substring(0, 100)    // get first 600 characters
    
            .split(" ") // separate characters into an array of words
    
            .slice(0, -1)    // remove the last full or partial word
    
            .join(" ") + "..."; // combine into a single string and append "..."
    
        $('blockqote.feedback-text').html(code_2_sample_short_desc + '<br><a href="#" onClick="show_all()">(show all)</a>')
    
        function show_all () {
    
            $('blockqote.feedback-text').html(code_2_sample_full_desc + '<br><a href="#" onClick="show_less()">(show less)</a>')
    
            _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'toggle', 'click', 'show code_2_sample'])
    
        }
    
        function show_less () {
    
            $('blockqote.feedback-text').html(code_2_sample_short_desc + '<br><a href="#" onClick="show_all()">(show all)</a>')
    
            _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'toggle', 'click', 'hide code_2_sample'])
    
        }
    
    </script>

  for the widget "widget_woo_feedback" you have to edit it on the file if it there is no option for it in the admin panel to set the no. of characters.

  • 07/20/12 10:55am
    
    Kyle Hungate says:

    Correct - there is no option to modify in the admin panel

    Arnav Joy says:

  We can achieve this in jquery...
  
  Create a new page "Testimonials" with all testimonials in it... I assume the page as "http://ssmd.vextras.com/testimonials/" now
  
  Then add the following jquery to your header
  
  

  jQuery(function(){
  
    jQuery(".slides_control div").each(function(i){
  
      len=jQuery(this).text().length;
  
  	var link = jQuery(this).attr("id");
  
      if(len>100)
  
      {
  
  	
  
         jQuery(this).text(jQuery(this).text().substr(0,100)+'...');
  
  	   jQuery(this).append('<a href="http://ssmd.vextras.com/testimonials/#'+link+'">Read more...</a>');
  
      }
  
    });       
  
  });

  
  
  Now the above jquery read more link will lead you to the corresponding testimonial's area...

    I put this at the very end of the header.php file and it did not work with the above code. This is what it looked like (attached).

    you need to enclose the tag inside the <script> tag... Have you done that?
    
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(function(){
    
    jQuery(".slides_control div").each(function(i){
    
    len=jQuery(this).text().length;
    
    var link = jQuery(this).attr("id");
    
    if(len>100)
    
    {
    
    
    
    jQuery(this).text(jQuery(this).text().substr(0,100)+'...');
    
    jQuery(this).append('<a href="http://ssmd.vextras.com/testimonials/#'+link+'">Read more...</a>');
    
    }
    
    });
    
    });
    </script>
