I've seen that the "Content characters lenght" option literally truncates the sentences.
So if I have at the end of the featured question a sentence like :
Does anyone know where I can find them ?
it is truncated (with my settings) to :
Does anyo
that is not aesthetically very nice to see in my opinion :-)
I'd suggest in next version to append some "dots" or something similar to show to the user that the sentence has been truncated and continues...
So to visually have this result (or something similar) :
Does anyo.......
If you don't offend :-), to better explain what I mean, I send you the snippet of code (widget page, lines 414 and 491) that I tried and works :-)
$lenBefore = strlen($var);
$limit_cont = substr($var, 0, $cont_length);
$lenAfter = strlen($limit_cont);
if ($lenBefore > $lenAfter){
$limit_cont = $limit_cont.'.........';
}
