Hello,

I have on my JomSocial's activity stream the updates of the Facebook status, but I find that many users write hundreads of words. Is there any way to limit this to, let say, 50 words, or 200 characters?

Thank you!

We don't have that option, and I'm not sure if it's something we'd add. The status import from Facebook doesn't have a link associated with it, so there's no way to do a 'read more' with a link to the actual post. If we were to truncate the update then there wouldn't be any easy way for the viewer to see the full update.

Can you tell me if a user could add a status update to JomSocial normally that is of similar length? They may not do it, but if it's possible, then this would probably be a better suggestion to the JomSocial. They could add a way to collapse or expand really long status updates. That would have the benefit of working with all posts regardless of whether they come directly from JomSocial or made through a social network.

Thanks,
Alex

It seems to be that with the latest version of JomSocial this can be done. I will update soon to see.

Thanks a lot!

That's great to hear. I hope it helps. Should you need anything else, just let us know.

Also, we hope to see you renew your subscription to JFBConnect soon. There's a ton of great new features and compatibility updates that have been added in the last few releases this year, including a new update just today.

All the best,
Alex
