Excerpt Character limit

Hi Forum!

Hope that someone can help.

I have an article with 50 words in the excerpt field. And what I want is to show on the home page only the first 15 characters of it.

All the plugins that I found , rss_auto_excerpt and kgr_safe_excerpt works with the body of the article but not with the excerpt.

for example:

<txp:rss_auto_excerpt words=“15” overrideexcerpt=“1” striptags=“1” showlinkwithexcerpt=“0” stripbreakstabs=“1” excerptwraptag=”“ />

this code generate the first 15 words of the body text. If I put 0 in the overrideexcerpt, the output is the total amount of characters without limitations.

I need to output the first 15 words of my excerpt field only.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi

rss_auto_excerpt work with any field (body, excerpt, custom field) you have to tell him with : body=“excerpt” like it s noticed at the end of the help page

Cheers
