Re: Excerpt in article

You can use the plugin glz_custom_fields to set a custom field to be a textarea, and it will appear in the write / edit screen like an excerpt. There is one difference: the body and excerpt are automatically processed and pre-saved as textile notation (by default) but a custom_field is not. If you need to process the custom field as textile, you can use smd_wrap:

<txp:smd_wrap transform="textile"><txp:custom_field name="your-custom-field-name" /></txp:smd_wrap>

And if you want your new textarea custom field to appear beneath the existing excerpt field in the admin area, you can use bot_write_tab_customize to reposition it as you like.
