Excerpt on "Home" page instead of full article??

I’m pretty new to Textpattern, but I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to have it only post the “excerpt” to the homepage instead of the full article, and then click a link or something to be taken to the full article.

Thanks!

Hi jtchambers,

in your default form you need something like:

<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:excerpt />
<txp:else />
<txp:body />
</txp:if_article_list>

There’s also a how-to in the FAQ.

Thanks to you both! I must be a little slow… I searched the faq for just exactly that. I was up late… that’s my excuse!

Thanks again both of you!
