Does anyone know how to set a limit for the meta description tags for stories? Currently it is pulling info from the summary, but the descriptions are basically pulling the entire summary in the description tag. I want to limit this to say around 75 characters. I think this is the code I need to adjust, but not sure how to place a limit on it:

Found in story.php file:

// meta tags
$main_smarty->assign('meta_description', strip_tags($link->truncate_content()));

Any help would be appreciated.

I know this is old, but if anyone else is wondering: go to submit_step_2.tpl (in the folder of whatever template you're using) and find the line:

<input type="text" id="tags" name="tags" value="{$tags_words}" size="60" maxlength="40" />

Change 40 to whatever you want.

// meta tags
$main_smarty->assign('meta_description', strip_tags(substr($link->truncate_content(),0,250)));

change number 250 to what you want
