Added a truncate function

Textarea Counter for Processwire

What it does

The module adds a possibility to define a character/word limit to textarea inputs in Processwire. It will show a live count when editing these fields.

Installation

Just drop the files TextareaCounter.module and TextareaCounter.js in a folder called TextareaCounter in your site's modules directory. Install from the backend as you're used to.

How to use it

To use it with a specific Textarea input field, edit the desired input in the backend and add a limit for characters and/or words. You should be ready to go.

Credit

Most of the code was helpfully provided by Soma in the Processwire forums. juagarc4 helped making it useable inside repeater fields.

Still missing

• Proper documentation
• An expansion to bring this functionality to flat text inputs as well.
