Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
John,
Thanks for that info, it’s new to me. But my footnotes are not numbered footnotes. They’re more like additional info, hyperlinks (I don’t do links in my body), dates of events, that sort of thing.
I would have used a custom field for my footnotes if the input box wasn’t microscopic; the excerpt box is perfect.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
I wonder, could there be a way to override the automation of the excerpt length, say with a specified character sequence in the article body, say “+++”? Or is there another plugin that does that?
Hmmm.
Ta.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
According to what I tried you can treat the body of an article as if it were a custom field. So you possibly can use <txp:if_custom_field name="body" value="+++" match="any">has pluses<txp:else />has no pluses</txp:if_custom_field>.
But why not set a variable in the body or use a custom field?

Why not simply use the original excerpt field and if_excerpt logic?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
Hello Everyone,
I have used “rss_auto_excerpt” as follow:
<txp:rss_auto_excerpt showlinkwithexcerpt=“0” words=“15” />
but the text that is generated comes between <p> tag. Can someone help me to remove the paragraph element? I want that the generated text doesn’t come between <p>?
Hope someone can help me.. :)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
Markus, I use the excerpt field for each article’s footnotes. I just wish there was a manual="" option in Sable’s plug-in…

Yep. I think I spelled your name wrong. Just noticed your bio saying PDX. I grew up there, then moved to Seattle for an equally long period of time. I love the PNW. Miss it.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
elliot Always important to know: The Textpattern Tag Reference
- Textpattern standard logic (long case): In a list (
txp:if_article_list) you use an excerpt form (txp:if_excerpt). This form (txp:article form="") has to contain the “read more” permalink (txp:permlink). - Textpattern standard logic (short case):
txp:article form="" listform=""defines 1. which form to use for single articles, 2. which form to use for article lists. The listform=”“ form has to contain the “read more” permalink.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
Does this plugin still work with current TXP version? If so, why the following code is not working on a archive page?
<txp:rss_auto_excerpt words="110" linkclass="read_more" linkwraptag="p" ending=" [...]"/>

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_auto_excerpt
Yes, it still works. Can you post a tag trace of the page in question?
Also, the tag should be in an article form or inside <txp:article> or <txp:article_custom> container tags.
