TYPO3 Core

lorem ipsum dolor <b>sit amet...

The patch solves the decribed problem and ensures the correct char count (chars of tags ar not counted; entities are decoded).

fyi: bug_7984.diff against 4.2RC1

Added patch for TYPO3 4.1.6

The new patch (bug_7984_v2_typo3_4-1-6.diff) takes the "link" tag into account. Thanks to Boris for testing.

The new patch (bug_7984_v3_typo3_4-1-6.diff) solves a problem (no content was shown, if the number of chars is larger than the content length).

+1 after testing in 4.1.5

The new patch (bug_7984_typo3_4-2-0RC1.diff) closes cropped tags, respects entities and is unit-tested (CropTest.php). For plain text the patched version of crop behaves exactly as the original version.

Boris!

Please post this as a RFC to the core list!

I posted an RFC on April 4th 2008 on typo3-team-core@lists.netfielders.de .

Well Jochen,

That's a nice discussion! Good work.

For posterity: http://lists.netfielders.de/pipermail/typo3-team-core/2008-April/015278.html

So, now we wait. Dmitry is already Monitoring, Stucki will look at it this evening, Patrick has just escaped to the US . . . .

Re-posted the patch to the core list. Now it uses cropHTML property.

So here we are one year later, and we have a 'relationship'.

Nice!

:-)

This was mainly to bubble the thing out again. I was a little bit exhausted after the lengthy discussion on the core list. But I am currently preparing a post to sum up the discussion. I really want this feature get into 4.3.

Committed with rev. 5857
