Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
Well, i found the problem. The plugin txp:the_video is incompatible with the plugin txp:rss_auto_excerpt. I had put it on the top of my last article…

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
I have a problem with rss_auto when a HTML img tag is in N first characters of the body text, the img tag is truncated
I call it by
<txp:rss_auto_excerpt length="300" skipparagraphs="1" />
and the result in my page is
<a href="/big/img_uri.jpg"><img src="/small/img_uri.jpg" alt="my image" width="194"...</a>

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
That looks like a bug in the auto tag closing routine. The a is closed properly but the img is overseen/ignored.
Bad news is that Rob Sable is not showing up here and also is not reacting on emails for a long time now.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
I’ve read througt the first five pages but I can’t find a solution to style the excerpt properly. Why isn’t it possible to assign a class to the excerpt?
Something like this would be perfect:
<txp:rss_auto_excerpt class="css-class" />

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
How about this?
<wraptag class="css-class"><txp:rss_auto_excerpt /></wraptag>Offline

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
Of course I could write <div class="name"><txp:rss_auto_excerpt /></div> but that’s not a good solution…
I want something like this as output:
<p class="excerpt">This is the excerpt <a href="#">Read more</a></p>

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
I see. Without striptags="1", the generated excert wraps a p element. You could do this:
<p class="excerpt"><txp:rss_auto_excerpt striptags="1" /></p>…but then you lose any Textile/XHTML formatting within the excerpt.
Your best option is probably to target it in the page heirarchy. For example:
XHTML
<h3><txp:title /></h3>
<txp:rss_auto_excerpt />CSS
h3 + p {
unique-style-declaration: ect;
}If your article form appears in a specific div or other ided element, you can use that to further specify your css:
#article-list h3 +p {If you make use of all the available selectors, you need class attributes less and less. I hope this helps!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
I noticed you can also use the excerptwraptag attribute in rss_auto_excerpt to generate a unique wraptag that can target with css.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
Sorry if this has previously been answered, but I couldn’t see it mentioned. I am trying to use this plugin to generate single paragraph excerpts and only want a ‘Read more’ link when the excerpt is shorter than the full text. However, I get the link whatever the length of the article. I am calling the plugin as follows:-
<txp:rss_auto_excerpt paragraphs="1" linktext="Read more" linkclass="readmore" />Any fix for this would be much appreciated as it is a little annoying implying to visitors that there is more text to follow when there’s none.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
I am having problem with this plugin after upgrading to 4.0.7.
I am using
<txp:rss_auto_excerpt paragraphs="1" linktext="Lasīt tālāk" linkclass="morelink" />
and whenever I have an <txp:image id="xx" /> in my article body, page code is cut after returning content of plugin.
