Excerpt not working in version 4?

Hope this is the right forum…..for this question.

I upgraded to Version 4 months and months ago, and my old form for “Excerpts” no longer works.

I created a form called “Read More” to use with Excerpts :

[code]
txp:title /
<p>txp:posted / ¦ txp:permlink Full Link /txp:permlink ¦ <p> txp:comments_invite /</p>
<p>txp:if_article_list
<txp:excerpt /></p>
<p>txp:permlink Read more …/txp:permlink</p>
/txp:if_article_list

txp:if_individual_article
<txp:body /
/txp:if_individual_article

[/code]
It won’t work with txp version 4.

How can I go about getting my Excerpts working again?

Thanks.

Re: Excerpt not working in version 4?

You need to post this in the correct forum section. This one’s for plugins. And to post code on the forum you need to wrap your lines in

regular code < > < />tags. I can’t really tell what you had with the way it’s displaying.

I don’t see your excerpt tag anywhere.

This is the code posted above:
<code>
<txp:title />
<p><txp:posted /> ¦ <txp:permlink> Full Link </txp:permlink> ¦ <p> <txp:comments_invite /></p>
<p><txp:if_article_list>
<txp:excerpt /></p>
<p><txp:permlink> Read more …</txp:permlink></p>
</txp:if_article_list>
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:body />
</txp:if_individual_article>
</code>
You should move the <p> tag before <txp:if_article_list>, because in individual article mode it will leave you with an unclosed tag. But I doubt if that’s the problem.

I also think this should be moved to ‘How do I…’
