When I'm creating a new content class, in the field "Object name pattern" i use for example <name>.Now I want to use only a part of the string contained in <name>, something like shorten(30).
Please help me!!!

setup->classes->
In some datatypes you can use:
Max string length:
30 characters
so anybody can insert only 30 characters.

Sigh... Ekke you're right, but the field <b>Object name pattern</b> is not a datatype defined by me, so I can't change the "string length". When I add a new class, there are 4 default parameters for the new class: 1) Name 2) Identifier <b>3) Object name pattern</b>4) Container (checkbox)

There isnt a lot you can do with object names. To change this you need to modify the php class file :(
Look at this bug from a while back:
