The convention of using the author’s initials before the name of the plugin is not compatible with collaborative authorship, so in this case it will be dropped.

I hope nobody takes this personal, but that was not a good choice. The prefix is not to determine ownership of a person (which is merely a nice side-effect), but it is to make sure that function names do not clash between a) core-code and plugins and b) between different plugins and also to allow users to differentiate between core functionality and plugins. Using the authors initials was merely the easiest way to “hash” all the developers efficiently onto the set of three-letter prefixes.
A better choice in general when someone wishes not to use his name, is to make up a three letter prefix (with or without a meaning) and use that, q’s and x’s are little in use… ;)

I’ve made some changes to this great plugin. The changes adds some functionality, so you may want them posted here or sent via email (in case let me know: who’s the mantainer dev?).

Changes explanation: I needed in one article form the capability of displaying the body beginning of the article even if there was an excerpt. Currently with the plugin it’s not possible. I added a ‘noexcerpt’ attribute. When set to 1, the excerpt is ignored, and the xxx chars of the body are showed.

I also added a customization tag for the read more link. Currently a span, I needed a p for styling commodity. Added a ‘moretag’ attribute that is used only when format is not inside.

The changes don’t affect present behavior, just expand it. So if you want to include them in the plugin let me know. Else, I could think of putting up a parallel version (but I’d rather not to do, already too many similar plugs…).

Bye

Zanza, I’d appreciate it if you could send a copy of it to babicdragan a.t. gmail (c0m), thanx in front.

Zanza · 2006-07-09 14:59:23

I did, even if you seems to be on vacation. :)

Bye!

dinosauer: I haven’t used this yet, but perhaps something like this might work? I don’t know, just a guess…

<txp:beginning length=“500” linktext=“continue reading <txp:title />” styleclass=“morelink” />

again, just a guess. I don’t know if you can do <txp:stuff> inside other <txp:stuff>. :-)

Nevermind, I saw someone else already answered this. Now, how do I delete it? I hit delete, but there was no where to confirm that I wanted it deleted!

FYI: the download link is broken.

michaelkpate · 2006-07-19 14:08:55

FYI: still broken.

seanxian · 2006-07-19 16:27:14

I am interested in using this plugin – does anyone know where to get it – the download link is broken!

Seems to be working now!

philipashlock · 2006-07-20 02:10:39

Again, sorry for the broken link, all fixed now.

Go get it

joeamerica · 2006-07-20 14:07:20

Thanks! this is a great plug-in…

Hey there. Was the noexcerpt attribute created by Zanza added to the plugin? I would like to use that as well. Can someone post the additional code here? thnx for the great plugin!

Zanza · 2006-08-23 16:48:16

Hello. I mailed my code to the plugin mantainers, but I don’t know if they plan to add the attribute to the official version. If you want I can post my code here. Maybe I could make a plugin by myself, but it would be just a mod of the original plugin.

Let me know.

If you could post your code here, that would be great. I’d like to give it try…
