Content Summary in valid HTML (LimitWordCount)
24 November 2009 at 5:45pm
Here's a HTML safe LimitWordCount() function. Often I want to limit the amount of words in a content block, but retain the formatting.
eg:
Content = <p>this <br/>paragraph would normally get cut off</p>
getSummaryHTML (2) returns: <p>this <br/>paragraph</p>This current function is to be placed in the model (it would be nice to place in controller, but it doesn't work for some reason.) It would be easy to put inside your own extended HTMLText element.
Code (in Page.php):
/*
* limits words to a number, but tries to validate the code
*/
public function getSummaryHTML ($limit = 100){
$m = 0;
$addEplisis = '';
$returnstr = '';
$returnArray = array();
$html = array();
$chars = preg_split('/(<[^>]*[^\/]>| )/i', $this->Content, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
foreach ($chars as $elemnt) {
// found start tag
if(preg_match('/^<(p|h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6|q|b|i|strong|em)(.*)>$/', $elemnt)){
preg_match('/^<(p|h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6|q|b|i|strong|em)(.*)>$/', $elemnt, $matches);
array_push($html, $matches[1]);// convert <p class=""> to p
array_push($returnArray, $elemnt);
// found end tag
} else if(preg_match('/^<\/(p|h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6|q|b|i|strong|em)(.*)>$/', $elemnt)){
preg_match('/^<\/(p|h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6|q|b|i|strong|em)(.*)>$/', $elemnt, $matches);
$testelement = array_pop ($html);
// match (ie: <p>etc</p>)
if($testelement==$elemnt[1]) array_pop($html);
array_push($returnArray, $elemnt);
} else {
// done
if($elemnt == ' ') continue;
array_push($returnArray, $elemnt);
$m++;
if($m > $limit) {
$addEplisis = '…';
break;
}
}
}
// convert start tags to end tags
$tmpr = '';
foreach ($html as $elemnt) {
$tmpr.='</'.$elemnt.'>';
}
return implode($returnArray, ' ') . $addEplisis . $tmpr;
}This will limit Content to 100 characters, and add any broken tags on to the end. If the Content is bigger than 100 characters it adds an ellipsis on the end.
If you find any improvements, or this is already somewhere in HTMLText, let me know.

There is ticket for this at: http://open.silverstripe.org/ticket/4048
I just reopened it and also linked to your workaround.
Thanks.

This code will find <pre> elements. I noted a bug while trying to integrate summarized text with GeSHi (the Generic Syntax Highlighter)
public function getSummaryHTML ($limit = 150){
$m = 0;
$addEplisis = '';
$returnstr = '';
$returnArray = array();
$html = array();
$chars = preg_split('/(<[^>]*[^\/]>| )/i', $this->Content, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
foreach ($chars as $elemnt) {
// found start tag
if(preg_match('/^<(h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6|q|b|i|strong|em|pre|p)(.*)>$/', $elemnt)){
preg_match('/^<(h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6|q|b|i|strong|em|pre|p)(.*)>$/', $elemnt, $matches);
array_push($html, $matches[1]);// convert <p class=""> to p
array_push($returnArray, $elemnt);
// found end tag
} else if(preg_match('/^<\/(h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6|q|b|i|strong|em|pre|p)(.*)>$/', $elemnt)){
preg_match('/^<\/(h1|h2|h3|h4|h5|h6|q|b|i|strong|em|pre|p)(.*)>$/', $elemnt, $matches);
$testelement = array_pop ($html);
// match (ie: <p>etc</p>)
if($testelement==$elemnt[1]) array_pop($html);
array_push($returnArray, $elemnt);
} else {
// done
if($elemnt == ' ') continue;
array_push($returnArray, $elemnt);
$m++;
if($m > $limit) {
$addEplisis = '… <small><i>(text truncated)</i></small>';
break;
}
}
}
// convert start tags to end tags
$tmpr = '';
foreach ($html as $elemnt) {
$tmpr.='</'.$elemnt.'>';
}
$v = new HTMLText();
$v->value = implode($returnArray, ' ') . implode($html, '') . $addEplisis . $tmpr;
return $v;
}
