   Is there any way to set a template(s) to automatically pull in a set amount of text from a post into the Portfolio Teaser Text below the thumbnail? Perhaps the template(s) could be adjusted so that the first 50-100 characters from a post automatically show up under the thumbnail in the gallery with a "..." followed by the "Read More Button"? I don't know if that's simple or tough.

   Along that same line is there a way to make the Author of a post show up in the Teaser Text below the thumbnail in a portfolio gallery?

   You're probably thinking that I'm lazy and should just cut and paste the text into the field and count to 100, but that's not it (no worries, it's what I would think to). It's that I am using a mini-form to enable public uploading of images and text from many different users. So I will have multiple authors generating lots of posts from outside the admin area. Thanks again for your time and assistance. Great theme.

   Hi SteveRam,

   This is not part of the template, so I'm afraid it will require extra customization.

   Hi Steve,

   I've made a tweak for you for the gallery view one (is this the one you need?). Please replace the file I have attached within:

   [theme_folder]\lib\includes

   I've made it so only the first 130 characters will show (3 lines of content).

   Let me know if this is what you were looking for.
