Adjusting content dynamically

[Radhika Venki]

We are developing a Website using Contribute 3.1, where we have a requirement
in which the page has a Rich Text Component and the publisher can enter any
amount of data. However, after the page is published and when it is being
displayed, the number of lines that are displayed should automatically be
reduced to 3 and a 'More' link should be displayed. On clicking of the 'More'
link, the rest of the content should be displayed.
Is there a way in which we can dynamically do this?

Hi,

You can always create a link "More" with target set to either open in
same window (_self / default) or Open in new window (_blank) where you
can display all the data.
However, since your requirement requires dynamic coding, this has to
be done using your coding language and contribute may not be able to
handle such dynamic data of limiting the number of rows to be seen when
the data is served by some server.
Let me know which language are you using and what exactly are you
looking for, may be i can help you do that.

Thanks
