Plugin: pfa_beginning - excerpt generation based on length attribute

tinyfly · 2005-06-02 13:20:43

philipshlock: thanks

seku: I usually have this plugin autogenerate the excerpt also but sometimes I want something different than what is in the body or more control so I enter the excerpt manually.

Another cheer and another request: I’ve found that when a post begins with a blockquote as entered in textile (ie bq . )
the plugin doesn’t close the blockquote. Is there a way around this?

Thanks again!

I had this same problem, so I basically ensured I removed ALL text formating from the start. If you want unformatted excerpts then you might want to try safe page excerpt.

I’d actually like to keep the formatting. I’m wondering if there is a way for the plugin to close the tag if it spans multiple paragraphs.

philipashlock · 2005-06-19 03:07:29

the plugin could be made to see if there are open tags and close them if they haven’t been, but I don’t know how I could ensure that this was done in the proper order (ie have the tags nested as intended).

I think this would require some pretty good analysis of the tags used. I wonder if this might be easier to do before textile is applied, but I think it’s pretty much the same situation with html or textile tags. The code would probably have to run a lot of different tests to figure out what to do about open tags. This is not something I know how to do.

If anyone knows of an efficient solution, please contribute. Thanks.

Could someone tell me where this plugin’s data has disapeared to? When I click on the download link all that appears in my browser is the enclosing tags for a PHP script and nothing more.

tinyfly · 2005-09-05 03:52:38

Even though you can’t see it the php is there. Press ctrl-A, to select all (or whatever the mac command for this is), ctrl-C to copy. Then paste that into the plugin box in your textpattern admin.

Well whatta ya know?! Now the encoded data is there. Problem solved! :-)

uhm… i cant get it to work properly. could also be i’m just too dumb, but i’m trying the following:

< txp:if_individual_article> < txp:article /> < p> Vorheriger Artikel: < txp:link_to_prev>« < txp:prev_title /> «< /txp:link_to_prev>< br /> Nächster Artikel: < txp:link_to_next>» < txp:next_title /> »< /txp:link_to_next> < /p> < /txp:if_individual_article> < txp:if_article_list> < txp:beginning length=“500” linktext=“weiter lesen” styleclass=“morelink” /> < p> < txp:older>zurück< /txp:older> < txp:newer>vor< /txp:newer> < /p> < /txp:if_article_list>

this is the content area of my default page… but if i do so, it just shows nothing, no output. any idea on this, or corrections on my way to put the articles there? :-)

You have to put the pfa_beginning-stuff in the article form, not on the frontpage.

thomasstache · 2005-10-01 13:47:09

I was just going to write something similar, but let me elaborate some more. You should replace the <code>< txp:body /></code> tag in your “default” form with the <code>< txp:pfa_beginning /></code> stuff. That should work.

What the heck, here’s what I use to see the excerpt for the list and the full article “if individual”.

ah, sorry, now i got it :-) thx
