    Is there a snippet of CSS we can add to the about us to limit the number of characters in the About us?

    I would like to move this to feature requests if you don't object. It would be a good feature to have.

    the following, added to the end of your theme copy, in the admin panel. Choose the theme.css .

    .profile_fields > ul > li.field_about_me > span + span {
      white-space: nowrap;
        text-overflow: ellipsis;
        max-width: 175ch;
    }

     

    It works but you'll need to figure out a bit more about the CSS. It only works on one line and so it is limited in what it can do. You may need to create a little plugin to do more manipulating of it. I'm not a CSS whiz.

    Does this just work for that field type or can it be extended to any other?

    I want to get the wyciwyg editor in a field type.
