version etc info in siggy

Is it possible to have varying summary length on different skins. The default length is 75 and that has worked fine for me as i have my recent and featured in small blocks in a column. I am now playing with a new skin with a full length recent and featured block and the short summaries cut off and look funny with so much empty space.

If i up the summary length it makes the other skins recent blocks go for miles.

Can i have a summary length specific to only one skin, or is that not doable?

thanks
jacci

Use variables.php.


$featured['sumlength'] = YOURNUMBERHERE;

thanks Tammy, that is  uh duh to me, i didnt even think to look in there for messing with length of featured

i am assuming it would work too with recent

$recent['sumlength'] = YOURNUMBERHERE;

thanks Tammy

i couldnt get that to work so i tried this instead

$blocks["featured"]["sumlength"] = 200;
$blocks["recent"]["sumlength"] = 200;

and that did the trick

thanks again
