I don't know if it is possible to assign multiple operators in one string. But perhaps you could try something along the lines of setting the first modified string as a variable and then outputing the variable with the second operator? Otherwise, you may need to create an operator for each combination of strings. So in this instance you would need to set up a single operator that creates the md5 and then shortens the result to send to the template.

Hmm, this should be possibe. However, I think you should use the "extract_left" operator instead of "shorten". Have you tried to do it like this?

{"mystring"|md5|extract_left(8)}

The operator is documented here:

UPDATE:
I just tested the code above with the latest alpha of 3.4, it works. It should also work with earlier versions of eZ publish.
