A way to remove an image from an excerpt?
I have a small area on a home page that accesses the latest 6 stories from a section.
Page code:
<txp:article_custom form="myform" limit="6" section="my-section" />
Form:
<h3><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h3>
<txp:excerpt />
What’s happening is that the users are entering massive images into the excerpt field (from Flickr in this case) that is breaking the home page design. Anyone know of a way to exclude images from the excerpt only on the home page?

Hello again. Can rss_auto_excerpt do something like stripping certain tags?
Edit: Hum, might not be exactly what you want though — I think it can pull from the excerpt if it’s present.

Re: A way to remove an image from an excerpt?
If you enclose you excerpts with for instance <div class="excerpt"> ... </div> you can use a css rule to remove any images like so…
div.excerpt img { display: none }

Masa’s advice seems to be the simplest way – just add condition – if it “true” wrap required content with <span class="noimg">content</span>.
span.noimg img {
display: none;

Thanks guys. Victor, what kind of condition are you referring to? if_conditional? Which one?

Re: A way to remove an image from an excerpt?
I’m not sure what Victor had in mind, but the conditional statement is the css rule itself: if any <img> is found within a container tagged with .excerpt it won’t be displayed.
If you wanted to only ensure that images won’t exceed a maximum dimension, you could also place the images in a separate container div of e.g. 160/160px and set that container’s overflow to “hidden” – that will crop any larger images. The downside is they will still be loaded.

You can use etz_striptags with some conditionals to have it working only on the front page. Or rss_auto_excerpt (you can also make it use your own excerpt).

Re: A way to remove an image from an excerpt?
As far as I can see, rss_auto_excerpt does not strip the images from the excerpt, if they exist. Neither does etz_striptags, because the image is within the excerpt tag, and I would like to check if there is an image before stripping it, but only on the front page.
This is the current form:
<h3><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h3><txp:excerpt />
I think I will have to go down the CSS route to remove the img tag.

<p><txp:etz_striptags><txp:excerpt /></txp:etz_striptags></p> would strip the <img> tags I think, but of course also all other html tags, and you may not want that.

Basically without plugins, cause it doesn’t exist yet – nor etz_striptags doesn’t allow to choose which tags to leave. Well, this removes all images. You can add there more allowed tags or remove them if you like:
<txp:php> echo strip_tags(excerpt(), '<p><a><em><ul><li><ol><strong><br><div><span><pre><code><abbr><del>');</txp:php>Cheers!

Jukka, that seems a good way. I get errors though:
<txp:php> -> Warning: Missing argument 1 for excerpt(),
Code in the form is as follows:
<h3><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h3>
<txp:php> echo strip_tags(excerpt(), '<img>');</txp:php>If I use this:
<h3><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h3>
<txp:php> echo strip_tags(excerpt(), '<img>'); <txp:excerpt /></txp:php>The excerpt is not shown at all, and this error displays:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<’ in /users/home/myname/web/public/textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(2738) : eval()’d code on line

you can’t throw a txp tag within php like that.
