Excerpts not Displaying

Hi everyone,

I’m rather new to TextPattern and am somewhat lost in the documentation, etc. Sorry if this has been posted before, but I’m trying to style my page and the excerpts aren’t displaying, only full posts. I try using <txp:excerpt /> instead of <txp:body />, but nothing appears.
Is there a setting I’m missing? I defined an excerpt when I wrote the article.

Thanks

[ed: please read the FAQ before posting]

Re: Excerpts not Displaying

My favourite bit of code. This is for your default/article form template.

<code><div class=“post”>
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:if_excerpt>
<txp:excerpt />
<txp:permlink>But there’s more</txp:permlink>
<txp:else />
<txp:body />
</txp:if_excerpt>
<txp:else />
<txp:body />
</txp:if_article_list>
<p class=“commentlink”><txp:comments_invite /></p>
</div></code>

You’re not missing a setting. Most likely you’re editing the wrong form. Some help here. Get that working first before you try anything more complicated.

There’s a general excerpt howto here.
