Feature Request: string_truncate in PHP String plugin

[sebastienheraud]

Would it be possible to add to core PHP String plugin string_truncate feature? It is useful because it lets you shorten text by word rather than by character.
I've implemented this feature by adding || v == 'string_truncate' and copying and renaming substr_count in edit.php
Then in php_string.php file I added:
case 'string_truncate':
$value=JHTML::_('string.truncate', $value, $arg1 );
break;
Thanks

Hi,

The new version (1.5.0) of the PHP String plug-in includes a truncate function.
It doesn't use the Joomla method but still takes the number of characters as length (same as string.truncate), and cut at the previous word.
https://demo.seblod.com/seblod-plugins/php-string/truncate
The next version will support number of words as length.

Installed and tried it, got this error: "0 - Call to undefined method JCckDevHelper::truncate()"
