Display only a part of a blog post in the summary view

Hello,
Has anyone come across an effective way to set the size, either by pixels or the number of characters, that is displayed for blog posts in the summary view? I'm working with a blog that has some very lengthy posts, and we want to reduce the amount that people
have to scroll down the page on the homepage of the blog.
It's worth noting that I've come across a couple different potential solutions, but have had issues because the body of the post is an "enhanced rich text" field.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Bogan,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display only a part of the blog post in the summary view.
I recommend to edit the homepage in SharePoint Designer and modify the XSLT to achieve your goal.
Here is a link for you to refer:

Path issue leaving me unable to add blog post content in design view

Hi guys,
I am unable to add blog post content in design view when a template is applied to my blog. BC support have told me they fixed the problem by making minor changes to the paths of the css and javascript files and then told me to post on here for the solution.
When I call the files using <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/custom.css" /> everything displays perfectly but in BC I can't add blog post content in design view. I can edit in html but this isn't ideal for clients to update the blog.
If I change the paths to <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/custom.css" /> it fixes the problem and I can then edit blog content in design view but all blog pages that are in folders display incorrectly. Only the main blog page display properly.
I'm sure the answer is simple but I can't find it so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Pete

I took a look at your page URL and can't find any CSS issues or styles that would directly affect you editing/adding content to a blog post via the content editor.
Make sure you either clear your cache or try in another browser to see if the problem is localized to your current browser.
If you still have the problem can you link me to a screencast (you can use Jing if you don't have a screencast program: http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html) of what you are experiencing?

This is a silly question, but I cannot fix it! The icons that appear on my photos after I edit them, have gone away. The only way I can see them is in the Grid view. How can I get the icons back on the thumbnail photos of the full gallery that is loaded?

You have likely dragged the size of the filmstrip thumbnails to a small size that prevents Lightroom from displaying the badges. Using your mouse, mouse over the top line of the filmstrip and then drag it supports to increase the size.

OT: The Dreamweaver team's blog post about the Dreamweaver modernization effort

Hi all,
The Dreamweaver team has shared its thoughts on the rationale behind changes in Dreamweaver CC in its blog post http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/06/a-look-at-the-modernized-dreamweaver-cc.html. The blog post also touches upon what's ahead while providing alternatives to some of the older features that did not make it to Dreamweaver CC.
The team has taken into account feedback from several quarters before formulating a reply. I thank all of you on this forum who have provided us with inputs and constructive feedback to help us respond to your concerns.
I would like to particularly call attention to this sentence from the blog post:
We have just begun the modernization process and invite you to voice your opinion. We are committed to taking action on customer feedback and remaining as transparent as possible about our future plans.
In this context, it is worth noting that the Creative Cloud provides us with the flexibility to quickly try and address issues and areas that fall within the purview of our shared vision for Dreamweaver.
Thanks,
Preran

Namaste Preranji,
That URL that you posted is broken it should not be "dr eamweaver" but "dreamweaver" I hope that is not a bad omen. (-;

How to display only last 4 digits of tax number in Vendor Master view MK03

Dear experts,
In the Vendor Master view by Purchasing Organization (MK03), is there a way that will allow the user to view only the last four digits of the Vendor tax number?
For example: Display only **-*-6789 (or blank spaces), instead of 123-45-6789 ?
Any ideas and insights are much appreciated. Will award points for help.

My Display Only Works Part of the Time and Apple Care Won't Help Me (Long)

I bought my computer at a discounted price because it was a restocked item, but was it really worth it? I'm beginning to think not. I saw that it had one stuck pixel, but saving that much money on such an expensive computer, the pixel hardly seemed like a travesty. However, I think I've discovered the real reason why the last owner gave up such a seemingly exceptional piece of hardware...
After about a month of flawless operation my "new" computer started to act a little strangely. It wouldn't always go to sleep when it was scheduled, the screen saver wouldn't always come on by itself...things that I though a simple PRAM reset, SMC reset, or disk permission repair would fix. After countless attempts at all three "fixes" I was still having problems...a few days after these problems started occuring something even more drastic happened: My computer would turn on (the little light would come on, I'd hear the fans start running and the start up tone) but the screen would remain black. I tried several PRAM and SMC resets as suggested on this forum, but the screen continued to come up black for about an hour. That's when I called Apple.
The Apple Care specialist on the phone asked me for the serial in which I had to lift the computer up to get (since I obviously couldn't read it off the screen). She suggested an SMC reset which, I explained to her, I had tried already but it hadn't worked, however, I was willing to give it another shot. Oddly (and rather annoyingly) enough it worked, and for a short amount of time I was happy...until it happened again...another call to Apple...and again...and about 3 or 4 calls to Apple Care later, they suggested that I go in to an Apple Store to have it looked at.
The Apple Specialist made an appointment with me to meet with an Apple Genius the next day at 4:30PM at a store about a mile away from my house. The next day I lugged my 24" iMac through the local mall (I'm female, 5'2", and I weigh about 108 so it wasn't too easy of a feat) to discover the apple store was CLOSED for the next few days so that they could "make the store better." I called Apple Care on my cell phone right there in the mall and asked them what was going on. Didn't they know that this Apple Store was closed? The man I was talking to said that they knew and he wasn't sure how the person I had talked to just the day before had signed me up for an appointment when he hadn't even asked for my e-mail address. It was most bizarre. This man made an appointment with me for later that same day at an Apple Store about 45 minutes away from where I live. I didn't want to go, but I'm a college student and I was a desperate for my computer to work again.
Shaking around in that box must have brought it out of it's strange seized-up state because as I brought it out for the Mac Genius to look at it turned on for him no problem. Quite a frustrating problem because it's so spontainious that it keeps making me look like either a liar or a fool. He said he'd run an 8-hour diagnostic check on it and I could pick it up the next day. So the next day I waited for their call but I got none. I called them and they said that they were still running tests and it'd be ready the next day. The day after, about an hour and a half before I had to go to work, they called me and told me my computer was ready. They said they had ran a 24-hour diagnostic and everything was working fine but they said they'd run more tests if I wanted them to. I'm a full-time college student and I need my computer for just about all of my classes, so I declined more tests and told them I'd pick it up right away. I dashed over there to pick it up and dashed back as fast as I could (and I even made it to work on time...but just barely). Later that night I found that they had accidentally left their diagnostics CD in my computer (I called them about it and they said that would like it if I would bring it back...I still haven't mailed it).
All was fine and good (well, just okay...it still had problems with its sleeping and screen-savering) with my computer until yesterday. I got that black screen again upon start up....but this time my "fixes" worked after a few tries. There were no more problems for the rest of yesterday.
However, today I came home from school and go to start up my computer and the screen turned on and I saw the little mac symbol and that little circle of bars...but then it froze. I held in the little button to force a shutdown and when I started it back up again I was greeted by my good old friend, Mr. Black Screen. Just wonderful. I tried my "fixes" but today I didn't get lucky. So while I was holding in the button to start up my computer (again) and give it another go, I held it longer than I was supposed to and the little on light began flickering. Then I heard this unpleasant tone that lasted a few seconds before stopping and treating me to the startup sound. This time the screen turned on. Yay! I go to call Apple to find out what I had just done, and I find out that my 90 days are up and unless I wanted to pay $50 for them to be puzzled by my issue once more or give them $300 for not quite 3 more years of service, I'd have to lug my computer to an Apple Store or post here to get help. Thanks a lot Apple Care.
My "new" computer cost me almost $3,000. It should work the way it's supposed to. I need it to last me no less than 6 more years, but with the problems I've had with it in the first 3 months (which seem only to be getting worse and more frequent), I don't know if I'm expecting WAY too much out of it. I've been a loyal Apple user for 13 years and out of the 5 computers I've had in that time I've never had so many problems (actually I've never had any problems, at least nothing really serious; I'd never even called Apple Care before this). I'm a fairly experienced user (I'm not a Mac Genius or anything, but I know the ropes) and I am sure this is not normal behavior for an Apple computer (or any computer of that matter).
I'm so frusterated I'm not sure what to do. What's wrong with my computer? How can I get Apple to help me? How can I get Apple to even believe me? Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you so much for reading my very long (and rather dramatic) story.

Thanks for reading and thanks for the advice. Perhaps I'll ask them about it next time this problem occurs, although carrying the thing through a mall that is only about a mile away is the least of my worries. I'll do if it is both free (I don't make enough at my job to pay for such a service) and relatively speedy, although I'd hate for them to come over and for the computer to work properly (as bad as that sounds). It'd be a wasted trip and nothing would get fixed.
I'm contemplating videotaping myself performing my "fixes" on it the next time I have this problem.

Crystal report displays only a part of a field

I created a Crystal report based on a BW Query. The user enter a comment about a sales order in SAP. This field has only a key but no text in BW.
So the text is the key. The whole comment can be seen when I run the query with Bex Analyzer. The key is displayed on the report.
However Crystal report cuts the length of this field although I use the key in the Crystal report as well. Only 143 characters can be seen.
I adjusted the font or can grow option of the field but it doesn't work.
I tried this formula as well but it did not work.
Stringvar s1:={field} [1 to 100];
Stringvar s2:={field} [102 to 200];
S1&s2;
Can somebody help me about this issue?
I will be very thankful.

A Very Useful Series of blog posts about the new Audition

I can't remember seeing any recent reference to this in any of the numerous posts about Audition CS5.5 but if I'm wrong and the link has already been posted, my apologies!
http://blogs.adobe.com/insidesound/ has a series of posts giving details about some of the "new" features, and includes a link to a page which contains a list of the parts of AA 3.01 which have either been renamed or not made it into the final release version, at least for the time being. This latter page may NOT prove happy reading but is well worth a look.
Jeff

But reading the blog brings to light that the online help is now active. So the "missing features" list can be contrasted with what IS in AA-CS5.5. The full effects reference is here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/audition/cs/using/WSCD591E26-0D36-438b-8C22-601CA7A36B69.html
Or, if you want to start at the top, or see how other functions and features are implemented, the main help page is:

I need a fix for downloads on Mac. Currently only downloading .part files and can't find the problem.

I am struggeling to download files in any format (i.e. pdf, dmg etc.). It deosn't bring up the download list anymore and in finder under downloads, it has the following suffix eg. xxx.pdf.part. The file size is usually 0 bites. Any advice?
Another comment on this forum back in 2009 suggests donloading applejack. This did not seem to fix the problem and the latest version only indicates support up to Leopard. I am currently running Lion... so a little nervous downloading this.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated, since I am highly dependent on this facility for my studies and other activities!!

The first step is to disable or remove that download manager entirely. That in itself is a likely cause of your problem.
The following can be tried in any order:
— disable all the other extensions in your browsers and try again.
— are you running any AV software or using Little Snitch? If so, disable those. You'll probably also have to kill those in Activity monitor, as both run background helper processes that run when the main app isn't and can interfere with network connections.
— look in your Login Items in
 > System Preferences > Users & Groups | Login Items
and remove any 3rd party apps that are there. Restart the computer and test again.
If you've tried all those and still have the problem, report back.

Only Syncing parts of tv series and not the whole thing?

I have had Apple Tv for a while now but all of a sudden im starting to get problems.
When i want to sync the whole series of a tv show, it syncs most of the shows but not all of them and in no certain order, for example:
Episodes 1,2,3,6,12,14,18,20 are NOT there but the rest of them are.
I only tick the box for the tv shows that i want to sync to Apple TV in iTunes, that is how i bring them into Apple TV. Is this correct or should i be doing it another way?
What could be the reason it is leaving out episodes ive tried everything i can think of. Ive restarted ATV and carried out a factory reset on ATV i have now just synced to ATV again and the same thing keeps happening but this time it has less episodes than before.
I have plenty of room on the ATV hard drive so i know its not the HD filling up.
Any help would be great, thanks!

Couple of questions for you.
Wifi or ethernet.
Is it the same shows that don't sync every-time.
Are you trying to watch while syncing.
Are you syncing all unwatched episodes or all episodes.
Can you watch the episodes that don't sync by streaming.
Are these purchased shows.
I wouldn't be worried that they don't sync in episode order.

How can I display assignment-level Work in hours and days in the same view?

I have a view based on Task Usage and I shows the Work figure for each resource assigned to a task. My Options settings are to display Work in hours. Want I'd like to do is have a custom field to calculate the equivalent number of days for each
assignment-level work value. Our hours per day are 7.4 so the calculated field should be [Work]/7.4.  eg.
Task Name > Work         > Work-days (Calc'd Field)
Task 1
    Fred        > 7.4 hrs     > 1 days
I tried creating a Resource custom field to do this but what displays is the value of the Task-level Work and this same value is repeated on every assignment row. MSP is not using the Work value of the assignment.
Is there a way to acheive this view?
Thanks
John

You're welcome John.
You could have a calculated task custom field which could divid the work in hours by 7.4 hours, but even like this you couldn't add it to a usage view and it would be only at task level, not assignment. Maybe a VBA macro could switch automatically the option
but I'm not sure.
If a reply above helped you, please mark it as an answer so other users with a similar concern can refer to it.
Hope this helps,

Why would the browser preview display look different than what I am seeing in the design view? Pls help!

When working with accordion panels, when I first insert the widget it looks fine, then I begin customizing the content and then the Preview display does not look the same as the Design display. For instance, in the design display the panel aligns with the adjacent image, but in Preview, it appears offset by one or two pixels.

Hi,
Please take a look at this post with similar discussion : Re: What I see in Design mode is not the same in Preview mode. ?

I would really like to break out of the one box (placeholder) mold. I feel so constrained in iweb right now. I think I have done a lot with my blog, but I am always looking to learn more about iweb and improve my blog. Thanks for any help!!!
