Shortened version of overview?
posted by mikenableSTAFFMOD on July 21, 2018 at 10:07 PM
Hello TMDB community,
I would like the use the shortened version of the overview on my page, not the full version. How can I accomplish this (if possible)? For example, when I call the overview for Jurassic World, I get this:
"Several years after the demise of Jurassic World, a volcanic eruption threatens the remaining dinosaurs on the island of Isla Nublar. Claire Dearing, the former park manager and founder of the Dinosaur Protection Group, recruits Owen Grady to help prevent the extinction of the dinosaurs once again."
However, I would like to use this instead:
"Several years after the demise of Jurassic World, a volcanic eruption threatens the remaining dinosaurs on the island of Isla Nublar. Claire Dearing, the former park manager and founder of the Dinosaur Protection…"
Can this be done?
-Mike

Hi Mike,
There's no functionality like this on the API, but you are free to implement a feature like this locally in whatever programming language you are using.

Hi Travis,
Thank you for the response. I will look into doing it locally next.
Cheers!
