Increase short description lengtt for category desription

[babyewok]

I changed the character limit for the 'more' link on the category description, but how do I change the length of $description_short when the more link is shown?  I have only found solutions to alter the length of the product short description, not that for the category.

you can use truncate modifier

{$description_short|truncate:120:"..."}

Hmm, that works to make it shorter, but not longer!  I want to show more than just one line if the description is longer than a certain amount and the 'more info' link is shown.

Needless to say I came to my senses and used

{$category->description|truncate:150:"..."}

instead!
