I have a div with a fixed height and want to display a view field. When the content overflows the div, I'd like an elipsis to click for more.

CSS can handle overflow and hide it (and overflow-text can handle a single line) but I have to estimate everyting for number of lines since words can be an arbitrary length. Sure views with or without the smart trim module can handle words or characters, but I need to estimate the number of lines or, ideally, I'd like the trim based on the max-height of a div.

The Smart Trim maintainer suggested a CSS library which may help but does not solve the problem.

I imagine that views text overflow based on height is a common problem.

There is no way to handle this with Drupal modules, I suggest you use Ellipsis in your Style( style the result rows items with Ellipsis .

You can read below help content :

link1

link2

  • All roads seem to lead back to the css library but even so, as far as i can tell, they will not let you make the ellipsis into an anchor to link back to the content or other view. How do most people handle a variable amount of summary text in a fixed height div? I feel like I must be missing something big :)
