any ideas?
Maybe it’s because of some HTML code in the article.
So you better use it with striptags="1"
and maybe also stripbreakstabs="1"
You can read about these attributes in the plugin help page.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
For your information, if you have a set of code that is right after whichever paragraph you set to cut off at, it may break the rest of the code from outputting in this. I have a divider image that I put immediately between the paragraphs and it caused the rest of the page after this divider to not output, once I put a space between it and the paragraph it resolved it. The code in question was <div class="divider"><txp:image id="1" /></div>
, I had tried the striptags and stripbreakstabs, but that caused strange layout results. I am satisfied with putting an extra space, since I only use that kind of thing on one individual page, but I thought I would post this just in case anyone else had the same kind of problem.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
Hello everyone,
I have the next problem with the next code:
<a href="#" class="linkblok">
<div class="linkblok_title">Title</div>
<p>Intro text</p>
<div class="leesverder">+ Read more</div><br class="trek" />
</a>
I am using this textpattern code:
<txp:article limit="5">
<a href="<txp:permlink />/" class="linkblok">
<div class="linkblok_title"><txp:title/></div>
<txp:rss_auto_excerpt words="15" />
<div class="leesverder">+ Read more</div><br class="trek" />
</a>
</txp:article>
This is what I get in my source code:
<a href="http://www.domain.com/section/title/" class="linkblok">
</a><div class="linkblok_title"><a href="http://www.domain.com/section/title/" class="linkblok">Title</a></div>
<p><a href="http://www.domain.com/section/title/" class="linkblok">Intro text</a></p>
<div class="leesverder">+ Read more</div><br class="trek">
When i use <txp:rss_auto_excerpt words="15" />
it gives to everything a link, but the title, intro text and read more do not need a link. By this way my layout comes in trouble.
When I remove <txp:rss_auto_excerpt words="15" />
, everything is ok, but then I don’t have the intro text.
I hope someone can help me how to get the intro text there! :)
Grtz

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
Try adding showlinkwithexcerpt="0"
to the plugin tag.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
Help (please). I’m wondering if this plug-in is what I’m looking for, but here goes…
I’d like to list excerpts only of all of my events on a page (not Home). Then, when a particular event is clicked, it goes to the full article. Currently, I’m using the section page as that overall list (www.website.com/events) but when I get the list to work as only excerpts, it carries that command over to the full article page. That said, is rrss_auto_excerpt the plugin that I need, or is it simply an article tag I need to use?
Thanks much!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
There are lots of ways to designate different output on a section landing page and an individual article. Here’s one way:
<txp:article>
<txp:if_article_list>
<!-- excerpt tag -->
<txp:else/>
<!-- individual article tags -->
</txp:if_article_list>
</txp:article>
Here’s another:
<txp:article>
<txp:if_individual_article>
<!-- individual article tags -->
<txp:else/>
<!-- excerpt tag -->
</txp:if_individual_article>
</txp:article>
Another way is to designate a listform
for the excerpt tag you want on the landing page, and a form
for the individual article output.
Edit: Fix code formatting.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
Yes, that totally worked. Here is what my form looks like:
<txp:article status=“sticky” form=“static_text” limit=“1” />
<txp:article> <txp:if_article_list>
<h3><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h3> <p><txp:posted format=”%m-%d-%Y” /></p>
<txp:excerpt /><p><a href=”<txp:permlink />” title=”<txp:title />”> Read More </a></p>
<txp:else/>
<h2 class=“entry-title”><a href=”<txp:permlink />”><txp:title /></a></h2>
<txp:body />
</txp:if_article_list>
</txp:article>

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
rss_auto_excerpt creates excerpts auomatically. Standard use is stand alone or inside an if_excerpt tag. if_excerpt answers ‘No’, well, rss_auto_excerpt can create an excerpt.
If you have excerpts and you want to show the full excerpt then rss_auto_excerpt is not needed.
but when I get the list to work as only excerpts, it carries that command over to the full article page.
Check your if/else logic. Somewhere along the way a <txp:body />
is missing :)
Edit: Laptophobo, pls. don’t start a txp:article
if/else discussion here in this rss_auto_excerpt specific thread.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
Hi Markus. Yup, that’s what I didn’t do. Hadn’t added the body tag. But, it seems okay now. I’ll also look into the plug-in option as well.
Thanks for helping!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
Is there a way to override the auto-excerption if the full body is only x words/whatever longer than it? There must be… seems silly to excerpt the first 100 words if the entire article is only 102, for example.
Thanks,
hicks.
