How to show view item by trimming? I'm trying to show articles by trimming. So, first I tried it by managing the display of body field to trimmed from content type. After fail to get desired results I tried it with views module by adding a contextual filter Content: Body setting character limit to 200 but did nothing.



I would like to hear the answer from this module as I also have the contextual filter: Content: Has taxonomy term ID already in this view.




  Update:


I want to add a view of taxonomy terms where I have created a view with contextual filter previously to which taxonomy term name is linked in this view:



In which taxonomy term is there:



And I tried with  Trim this field to a maximum length too but couldn't success.
You wont get anywhere triiming in a contextual filter, you need to click on the field and use the rewrite results fieldset in your fields settings.



Simply enter a maximum length, and choose extras like an ellipsis "..." to text that is cut off.

You may also need to change the format to plain text. Or choose a trimmed format.
