Comments on: Multibyte String Truncate Modifier for Smarty – mb_truncate http://www.guyrutenberg.com/2007/12/04/multibyte-string-truncate-modifier-for-smarty-mb_truncate/ Keeping track of what I do Fri, 30 Jul 2010 09:05:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Thomas http://www.guyrutenberg.com/2007/12/04/multibyte-string-truncate-modifier-for-smarty-mb_truncate/comment-page-1/#comment-29249 Thomas Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:04:11 +0000 http://www.guyrutenberg.com/2007/12/04/multibyte-string-truncate-modifier-for-smarty-mb_truncate/#comment-29249 Nice plugin, works even better if previously suggested changes are made. Additionally one can change the order of the function arguments. To match the order of things with classic smarty truncate, the charset should be passed after breakwords, so it would be: $string, $length, $etc, $break_words ... I placed that as last param, as php`s mb_ functions. You can now prepend mb_ on all existing truncate modifier calls within the templates. This is a very easy task using find/replace, which won't do so well with original argument order. It would pass the former break_words as charset, mb_ functions will not be happy with it.

There is a small problem in the code. On line 36 and line 37 instead of strlen must be used mb_strlen. So it should be: if (mb_strlen($string, $charset) > $length) { $length -= min($length, mb_strlen($etc, $charset)); :) Thanks for this plugin.
