Re: Plugin: pfa_beginning - excerpt generation based on length attribute

sominty,

there is an updated version of this plugin released by edeverett, but I don’t know if it works with the newest version. you can find that plugin available here:

http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=12923

I’m not sure if either his plugin or mine works on the newest version textpattern (4.0.3), so if you could clarify any issues that you are having that would be helpful. I won’t be able to work on this until next week unfortunately, but on sunday or monday I’ll see what i can do.

I’ll do my best to continue to follow the evolution of this plugin to see how I assist in its maintenance and further development.

Re: Plugin: pfa_beginning - excerpt generation based on length attribute

When I try to install it in 4.0.3 I get “Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Argument is not a string in C:\root\test\textpattern\include\txp_plugin.php on line 155”

Do you have the same problem?
Thanks

Vitruvius,

this is actually what I’m looking for! Please share this for download, or something. Hope you are still following this thread.

Re: Plugin: pfa_beginning - excerpt generation based on length attribute

thanks, tinyfly, but this plugin doesn’t do what I’m looking for. I need a feature so that the beginning of the article is displayed in the list, no matter if the article has an excerpt or not.

Any ideas?

Edit: Just commented out the if..else condition which checks if the article contains an excerpt…works fine!
