Hi!
I have a two panel homepage, the left panel is drawing from a view and so is the right. www.crocodyl.com
The panels are pulling from 2 separate page views, each is set to display one content type when it is published and promoted to front page.
The problem I am hitting is that the panels are displaying the entire post instead of a clipped version. I can't seem to figure out which setting to change, I would like it to cut off at about 500 characters and display the next post below, like a blog in each view.
It looks great if the new content (Company profiles) is really short, but once more information is entered in, it starts to make the front page really long.
--ian--
Set the views to 'Teaser List' in the View Type. If still too long (or too short), change the teaser trim length at /admin/content/node-settings (Administer >> Content >> Post Settings) to the desired length ( I believe it is set to 200 characters by default).

I set the view to 'View Type: Teaser list' in the 'page' section of 'edit view'. It doesn't seem to be registering the settings on the page at /admin/content/node-settings for some reason. I can switch those to 200 or the max, and it displays the same.

Those settings will apply for new posts only. Existing posts will need to be edited and resubmitted. There are php scripts to facilitate that for you, if you know what you're doing there. Caveat emptor.

Caveat emptor indeed, I am slightly noobish and scared of PHP still. Is a workaround to edit something small, like adding a single space, then submitting it again? Or do I have to add a whole new node to check the changes?

i don't think you need to actually change anything - just click edit and submit.
However, you said you changed the settings in the page section of the view. Are you sure you're not using the block view in your panel? If so you'll need to change it in the block part of the view not the page - each one has it's own settings

I just checked, I am using the page view in my panel. Still seems like it is displaying the entire post, not a teaser.

Just saw this: http://drupal.org/project/retease could help with your existing nodes.
