I had this proble too. Heres how i solved it. First i had a model method:
def get_wordcount(self): return len(self.content.split()) (content is a TextField) Then in my template i used it like this: {{ object.content|truncatewords:60 }} {% load base_utils %} {% ifgreaterthan object.get_wordcount 60 %} <a href="/news/{{ object.id }}">read more</a></p> {% endifgreaterthan %} You'll also need to get the ifgreaterthan custom template tag from here: https://svn.nrcfosshelpline.in/public/helpline/trunk/web/templatetags/base_utils.py (you'll need to edit it a bit) Hope it helps Sam Morrison --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
