Blogs - Maximum length of Blog preview don't work

I changed maximum to 350, Saved. Cleared Cache and and i don't see any changes on home page!

In Articles module also!

 

In news module it's work as expected!

It is designed such way to show only first line.. the text which is out of this line is hidden with ellipsis css style (which is not implemented in some browsers yet) ...

News module has wrong behavior!

Hmmmm, so why do I still have this same issue on a new installation of Dolphin 7.0.9 with the preview text set to 390 and the actual homepage text *STILL* only displaying the first line ... three years later? It's pretty hard to get people's interest perked up with just a single line of text, especially if the blog is technical or large with many required details. Yeah, I tried some of the old posted fixes too, whitespace and hidden to auto in the blogs.css but that didn't work for me. Granted, I'm "only" using the world's second most popular browser, Firefox ... but when I render in IE8 and IE9 it's also just a single preview line that shows up. Are there any real fixes for this? Thank you.

Blog post preview in 7.0 is designed to show 1 line.

In Dolphin 7.1 it is multiline: http://demo.boonex.com/blogs/home/

Thank you, but pardon me for asking ... and I really can't think of any other way to put it ... But are you saying that in three *YEARS* this was never fixed, or a work-around figured out by someone? I can't believe that anyone would think a single line of text will always generate enough interest to get others to read a blog and I can't believe that after people complained about it (since I'm obviously not the first), that nothing has ever been done to correct that "single line preview" issue? Aside from upgrading to 7.1 which I don't want to do, is there no other way at all to get this problem resolved, in order to show more than just a single line of text? This may sound ridiculous but if anyone knows of a solution I'd be willing to pay for it.

This is not a bug, this is the way how it works, and found this solution more appropriate for that time.

Actually the issue with 1 line of text in Blogs preview (and some other modules like Articles, News) varies in some subversions of 7.0 version (several lines were shown in some modules, as I remember). But we stick with the solution with 1 line description. 

This purely css fix and it maybe in some templates this behaviour is changed. 

For the manual fix - just remove the following style from .blog_text class in modules/boonex/blogs/templates/base/css/blogs_common.css and modules/boonex/blogs/templates/base/css/blogs.css files:

white-space: nowrap;

This is the complete solution which works on all browsers for multiple lines.
